Acquisitions built to last.
Share deals, asset deals, carve-outs, joint ventures: transactions touch civil, corporate, tax and employment law in equal measure. We advise on M&A processes — on the buyer side and on the seller side — from term sheet to closing.
What we do
- Transaction structuring with regard to tax and liability implications
- Legal due diligence with a prioritised red-flag report
- Negotiation and drafting of SPA, APA, shareholders' agreements and side letters
- W&I insurance, MAC clauses, earn-out structures, escrow arrangements
- Cross-border transactions with a focus on the German-speaking market and DACH region
- Post-merger integration: mergers, conversions, amendments to articles of association and rules of procedure
Way of working
The practice is principal-led — direct access to the lead lawyer, no hand-off to junior associates. For matters with high specialist density we bring in trusted tax, finance and employment partners.
Fee model
Transactions are typically billed on an hourly basis, with a cap at a defined workstream depth. For carve-outs and standard deals we offer fixed-fee arrangements — details in the introductory call.
