We can assist you if you wish to conduct due diligence on your company or on a company you intend to purchase, or if you wish to draw up a contract for the sale or purchase of business shares, options or other contracts.
Often, it is not the financial situation of the company being acquired that poses the greatest risk to the buyer, but rather the contracts it has previously entered into. Consider, for example, a loan agreement or other commitment entered into by the company being acquired.
In addition to contracts, the legal status of the company is also very important to the new owner. This includes, on the one hand, the accuracy of the data registered with the commercial court and, on the other hand, any disputes involving the company, outstanding claims and claims asserted against the company. We often encounter the problem that a former employee initiates a labour lawsuit after the purchase of the company due to a previously terminated employment relationship, or that such a labour lawsuit comes to the attention of the new owner after the purchase of the company.
The legal due diligence of a company therefore involves reviewing the contracts entered into by the company, identifying the obligations it has assumed and any potential disputes. The final result of the due diligence is a written summary, which provides valuable assistance during negotiations and decision-making.
