Mergers (including other transformations) and acquisitions are tools for growing a business, expanding into new markets, consolidating positions or restructuring groups. On the other hand, they can also be a means of exiting the market, monetising an investment, raising funds or finding a successor for your business.
Business transformation having the character of an acquisition is very common. However, it is not advisable to underestimate it. Non-experts can often be overwhelmed by incomprehensible legislation, especially if financing, public regulation or subsidies come into play. Even an acquisition with pre-arranged and seemingly clear terms (even due to a somewhat hostile relationship between the parties) may lead to misunderstanding or inadvertent outcomes. This can often have serious consequences.
Our team has extensive experience with transformations and acquisitions gained from many Czech and international projects. We will work with you to determine how to best structure the transaction in the most favourable way and in a manner that does not interfere with your funding, subsidies or public permits. We will conduct a due diligence review of the subject of the transaction (whether a company or asset), represent you or support you in dealing with the counterparty, and prepare or review all transaction documentation. In the transaction, we will become a partner that you can rely on.
