Our M&A Practice Group participates comprehensively in purchases and sales of companies and/or of one or more of their business areas.

The legal activities and consulting efforts of this area of our Firm focus on the preparation and planning of acquisition strategies and purchase offers for companies, drafting and negotiation of preliminary agreements, contracts and shareholders’ agreements.

One of the most outstanding features is our legal risk management area that, together with the M&A Practice group, are in charge of analyzing contingencies at the level of both the companies and assets acquired as well as of the industry in which they operate.

At the heart of this matter is the adequate conduct of the due diligence process, for which Albagli Zaliasnik has an effective work model that allows us to minimize contingencies and protect the value of the assets acquired. Thus, we work as a team with the strategic corporate departments in defining criteria on the basis of which price and associated risks are determined.

We play an active role in negotiation processes and the drafting of commercial agreements, ranging from liability restructuring to stock swaps, asset transfers and other applicable modalities.

We understand these processes entail interaction among various legal disciplines and fields of expertise, since any merger and/or acquisition usually combines regulatory, taxation, antitrust, human resources, real estate, corporate governance and intellectual and industrial property issues.

This approach to M&As, using an integrated consultancy function in which several Practice Groups participate, coupled with our legal risk management area, provides our clients with efficient solutions, reducing their related contingencies and achieving competitive cost levels.
