Merger and Acquisitions
General Overview
We acknowledge the fact that a merger and acquisition process it’s a critical strategic move for an organization, highly sensitive and confidential with high legal implications and reputational exposure.
Also, a project like this involves thorough legal and financial assessments and endeavours. Moreover, specifically from the organization’s leaders it requires change management capabilities, and a lot of energy to be devoted in maintaining the good shapes of the merged/acquired organizations in the purpose of achieving the transaction benefits.
Our approach is first to drive, advice and assist the leaders with respect to all the necessary steps and proceedings in order to safely and smoothly completing the legal transaction. Secondly, to plan the strategic integration in the early pre-merger period, in the purpose of preparing the post-merger/ acquisition alignment of the organizations to fulfil the targeted business benefits.
