Guiding a merger or acquisition is guiding a process that often touches on all aspects of a company. This involves commercial, financial, fiscal and legal issues. In various steps in an acquisition process, from the moment the first information is shared, then the letter of intent, the due diligence investigation and the final transaction documentation, decisions are made that can have far-reaching legal consequences. Consider the protection of company-sensitive information, potential unrest among employees, customers or suppliers.
