M&A – Company (Sales) Acquisitions

We support our clients in national and cross-border company acquisitions and sales and are also happy to take over the transaction management.

Our focus lies in conducting legal due diligence as well as drafting and negotiating strategic contracts to achieve economically optimised and legally secure outcomes. We advise both buyers and sellers and provide comprehensive support throughout all phases of the transaction – from planning to successful completion.

  • Share Deal
    In a share deal, the shares in the company (the target) are transferred directly, meaning only the ownership of the company changes. We assist our clients with the due diligence process, and with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating the share purchase agreement.

  • Asset Deal
    In an asset deal, individual or all assets and rights of a company are transferred, enabling buyers to manage risk selectively. We offer full-service support for structuring the deal, drafting the asset purchase agreement, and mitigating liability risks.

  • Asset Purchase Agreement (APA)
    The APA is the core agreement in an asset deal, regulating the transfer of defined assets and rights. We ensure precise and comprehensive contract drafting to minimise risks and protect our clients’ interests.

  • Share Purchase Agreement (SPA)
    The SPA forms the contractual basis for the acquisition of company shares and governs all essential transaction terms. We advise on the drafting, review, and negotiation of the SPA to ensure both legal security and economic advantage.

  • Signing
    Signing refers to the formal execution of the transaction documents, especially the SPA or APA. We support our clients legally and operationally in preparing for and carrying out the signing.

  • Closing
    Closing is the final stage of the transaction, during which the agreed services are exchanged and the transfer becomes legally effective. We provide legal and operational assistance throughout the closing process, particularly in fulfilling the closing conditions.

  • Virtual Data Room (VDR)
    A VDR is used to securely share sensitive company documents with prospective buyers during due diligence. We advise on setting up and managing the data room and support the legal review of uploaded documents.

  • Term Sheet
    The term sheet outlines the key commercial and legal aspects of a proposed transaction and serves as the basis for further agreements. We assist in the legal review and formulation to avoid future risks.

  • Letter of Intent (LOI)
    The LOI is a non-binding declaration of intent in which the parties define the framework for upcoming negotiations. We advise our clients on drafting the LOI to lay the foundation for a successful transaction early on.

  • Due Diligence (DD)
    Due diligence is the systematic assessment of a company to identify legal, financial, and operational risks. We carry out legal due diligence and compile a clear, decision-focused DD report for our clients.
