Due diligence — from contracts to compliance

Due diligence is an indispensable part of professional M&A transactions, capital investments, as well as acquisitions of businesses or organized parts of assets. Due diligence can not only identify potential legal, tax and financial risks, but also optimize the structure of the transaction, safeguard the interests of the parties and streamline the entire decision-making process.

In our practice, we combine the experience of lawyers, tax and financial advisors to provide clients with a complete picture of a company’s situation – not only in terms of regulatory compliance, but also operational efficiency and stability. Due diligence is also a way to build trust between the parties to a transaction and reduce the risk of liability on the part of the buyer. We offer analysis not only for compliance with applicable regulations, but also for strategic, reputational, ESG and compliance risks.

Our work enables the client to identify hidden risks, including those arising from unregistered contracts, erroneous accounting records, outdated licenses or oversights in data protection. A sound pre-transaction analysis is the basis for negotiating a price, securing business and properly planning post-purchase integration.
