Transaction documentation
Why
In an M&A process, documentation is the foundation of the final deal. Clear, consistent and well-timed documents prevent delays, misunderstandings and costly discussions. A strongly drafted letter of intent (LOI) lays the foundation for clear due diligence and an unambiguous purchase agreement (SPA). A carefully drafted SPA reduces risks after closing, and clear agreements ensure peace of mind after the transaction.
Without well-structured and substantively consistent documentation, negotiations become muddled, deadlines drag out and the likelihood of unforeseen problems increases.
How
We draw up drafts based on our experience and document stock and contribute ideas on content and structure. This is always done in cooperation with or in addition to the in-house legal counsel.
- Preparing and structuring - determine which documents are needed and how they fit together
- Concepts- drafting NDA, LOI, SPA and management/shareholder agreements based on existing formats and best practices
- Content input - monitoring commercial consistency and alignment with the deal structure
- Cooperation with lawyers - providing concepts and input for further legal elaboration
- Integration into the process - ensuring that documentation matches planning and other process steps
The result: complete, consistent draft documentation that supports the progress of the process and reduces the risk of delays.
