We advise on planning and execution of transactions as well as on legal and regulatory compliance and governance issues. Our team is very hands on in its approach and we hand hold our clients in all stages of a transaction, right from kick-off to closing and even assisting in post-closing integration.
We also leverage upon our expertise in other practice areas in order to provide our clients with more holistic solutions. For example, any dispute arising out of any transaction is handled by our highly recommended dispute resolution team supported by our forensics practice.
