Clients often come to us having already identified a specific acquisition target. Perhaps you've spent years watching a successful competitor in your sector, or met a technology company founder at a conference whose product captivated you. Sometimes it's a supplier you've worked with for years — a company you know would simply make sense alongside yours.

In these situations, the challenge isn't finding the target. It's analyzing it correctly and structuring the transaction well.

We help you assess whether your interest makes sense from a legal and structural perspective, what the risks are, and how best to approach the company's owners.

We either prepare the transaction documentation from the ground up based on your priorities, or respond to a draft prepared by the counterparty's lawyers.

Our task is to find the intersection between your commercial objectives and what the other side is willing to accept.

An experienced transaction lawyer knows when a requirement is a matter of principle and when it is merely a negotiating tactic — when to concede on a technical detail in order to gain ground on something that truly matters.

Due diligence is detective work. We systematically examine every aspect of the target company to uncover potential risks — and then protect you from them.

We analyze the company's legal structure, ownership relationships, and corporate arrangements. We review all material contracts, their transferability, and their terms.

We thoroughly examine intellectual property, including patents and trademarks. We assess regulatory compliance, and through our established specialist partners, we can coordinate a review of financial results and business performance.

The outcome is a comprehensive report identifying all material risks, with recommendations on how to address them — whether in the transaction documentation or in the pricing.

Around the table sit people with different interests, different expectations, and often deep emotions tied to a company — one party having spent years building something of their own, the other planning to take it over and shape it in their image.

Our role is not simply to defend your legal position. It is to understand the motivations of all parties and find a path to an agreement that works in the long run. This requires the ability to step back, see the full picture, and propose compromises that genuinely address the key needs of everyone involved.

An experienced negotiator knows when to push and how hard — and when to yield. When a point is a matter of principle and when it is simply a tactical move.

Even when the signature marks the peak of the transaction, the relief — and the emotions — on both sides are impossible to hide.

Transactions often include various clauses and post-closing arrangements that extend well beyond signing.

That's why we continue working with you afterward — on the fulfillment of warranties, the smooth resolution of everything agreed upon, and any legal matters that arise in the transaction's wake, even those not directly connected to the deal itself.

When an investor comes on board, the way decisions are made changes. Finding the right balance between effective management and protecting the interests of all parties becomes essential.

We define which decisions require investor approval, how the statutory or supervisory body will function, and what authority the management will hold — among other things.

We ask about the investor's portfolio and its track record, their approach to working with the management of investee companies, and their experience in your sector.

We examine the investor's financial stability and market reputation.

And when we represent investors, we help them conduct effective due diligence on target companies — identifying risks, but also uncovering hidden value and opportunity. Well-executed due diligence protects both the investor and the company.

If what you primarily need is capital, you are looking for a financial investor — one who provides funding and expects a return. This type of investor typically does not intervene in day-to-day management, but has clear expectations regarding returns and timelines.

If you are looking for a strategic partner, you are targeting an investor who brings more than money — access to new markets, technological know-how, significant business connections, or experience scaling similar companies.

We prepare the necessary changes and documentation based on the type of investor entering your company.

A long-term partnership between companies is about more than sharing costs. It is about combining strengths, knowledge, and markets in a way that creates genuine value for everyone involved.

We help you structure the collaboration so that it works not just on paper — but in real business life.

Investment transactions are not only about the size of the investment. They are about how you will manage the company together, make decisions about the future, and share both success and risk. We help negotiate terms that protect your interests while laying the foundation for a genuinely successful partnership.
