Guidance for mergers and acquisitions is a core activity within our office. We are proud of the large (inter)national companies and private equity funds we have as clients, but also of the smaller companies that act from a specific growth strategy.
We are able to offer our clients full process guidance, from the preparations, coordination, execution and due diligence assessments to the leading of contract negotiations and drafting of the purchasing contract. Before the transaction we are often involved in the strategic counselling (board room counselling). The strong tax department at our office allows our clients to be further assured that the chosen transaction structure is attractive from the viewpoint of taxation. We also have our own civil-law notary and over the years we have succeeded in building a fixed network of accountants and corporate finance specialist who are able to help you. Moreover, our membership of renowned worldwide networks such as Globalaw and Taxand has proven to be of great value in internationally orientated transactions. In this context we frequently manage teams of lawyers in other jurisdictions (as lead counsel). This means that we are able to offer you an all-round package of advice with the added advantage that your transaction will be coordinated from one central point.
