M&A Transaction Support

0. Pre-sale preparation of the asset.

• Preliminary discussions

1. Drawing the Letter of Intent:

• The Letter of Intent outlines the agreements reached by the parties and describes the structure of the deal;
• The Letter of Intent goes with the Plan for Deal Implementation, which specifies the timeframe and executors;
• The Plan should be made as detailed as possible describing each of the steps leading to the deal closure

2. Due diligence of the target asset .

• Due diligence is a vital step involving an in-depth assessment of all aspects of the proposed acquisition;
• The due diligence process is organized according to our checklist;
• Due diligence investigations are more effective if they include on-site visits and communication with the company’s management. It is also important to get a good understanding of the target company’s nature and examine how well the main assets are protected, identify and estimate any significant risks

3. Risk assessment.

• Substantial and acceptable risks are identified;
• The full and final terms of the Deal are agreed upon

4. Preparation of the documents.

• It makes sense if the documents are prepared by the same specialists who participated in structuring the Deal and conducted due diligence investigations;
• The risks identified and discussed by the Parties at the previous stages should be reflected in the documents

5. Deal closing.

• At this stage, the purchase agreement is signed and the purchase price is paid.
