MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

We assist buyers and sellers at every stage of an M&A transaction, from the preparation of term sheet and vendor/buyer due diligence to preparation, negotiation and execution of transaction documents, and up to implementation of the transfer and closing.

We provide assistance on a full range of deal structures, including asset acquisitions (though not very common in the region), private and public share acquisitions, squeeze-out, takeovers and tender offers, divestitures of shares or businesses and take-private transactions.

We give cost-effective, international standard legal advice assistance thanks to our team’s experience, skill, and local understanding in M&As.
