Mergers and acquisitions

Get in touch

Buying or selling a business is not a simple matter. These are often intensive processes that - besides strategic and personal considerations - also involve a lot of legal documentation. In such processes, it is wise to engage an experienced legal partner at an early stage.

Mergers

A merger or acquisition offers many opportunities - strategically, operationally and fiscally. There are multiple reasons to merge companies and there are many different ways of doing so. For example, some parts of the company may be transferred to a joint entity or a new entity may be created. Shaping this requires a thorough plan of action which should take the wishes of all stakeholders into account properly.

Due diligence

We can assist with drafting the documentation and conducting negotiations. Our team of civil-law notaries can provide support in audits (due diligence) and in shaping the actual transaction. In some cases, the existing structure can be simplified or anonymisation of assets is desired after the acquisition. We assist in this, too.

What we do

Kienhuis Legal is right at home in guiding participating interests and investments. The agreements and conditions associated with a proposed investment, as well as how the relations are shaped afterwards, are laid down in an agreement. Thorough preparation and knowledge of the process ensures that any pre-acquisition disputes can be avoided. This includes preventing the breaking off of negotiations. Or, in the case of an acquisition, guarantee claims. Matters we naturally prefer to avoid, but you have come to the right place for assistance should such conflicts arise. Our lawyers and civil-law notaries are engaged in this work on a daily basis. As a partner, we stand beside you throughout the process and work together towards an optimal result. Feel free to contact us for more information.
