Mergers & acquisitions
Whether it’s a business acquisition, merger, takeover or reorganisation: advising on, supporting and implementing business combinations is one of our core areas of expertise.
Key areas of our consulting services include:
- Transaction process from the buyer’s or seller’s perspective
- Legal due diligence

- Tax due diligence
- Distressed M&A
- Business valuation
- Tax optimisation of corporate transactions
- Drafting of contracts
Advising on corporate transactions and restructuring forms a key area of our partnership’s work. In particular, the firm’s interdisciplinary distribution of expertise enables us to structure complex national and international M&A transactions or company reorganisation cases and to handle them in a resource-efficient manner in our clients’ best interests. Cross-disciplinary collaboration within our firm has, in the past, proved to be crucial to the successful completion of challenging projects.
Company acquisitions and disposals require a clear and goal-oriented process, as well as speed, without compromising on professional excellence. Our advice is provided by interdisciplinary teams specialising in transaction advisory services. On the buyer’s side, we support you in all areas of due diligence. We also plan the tax implications associated with a transaction and advise on the optimal financing structure for the acquisition. The intersections with competition and antitrust law that arise in company acquisitions also require compliance measures, which are handled by our lawyers specialising in this field.
From the seller’s perspective, we help you to minimise liability risks and defend against potential warranty claims. The information provided to the prospective buyer is of particular importance in this regard. We advise you on the content of the necessary information, how to document and provide it, and how to safeguard your interests should it be necessary to disclose sensitive information.
