With over 200 M&A deals handled by our Firm till date we have over the years, had an opportunity to represent acquirers as also target companies across various sectors, which has resulted in giving us an understanding not just of various sectors but also a keen understanding of the needs of the sell side and the buy side as also the commercial issues faced by each side. All of this put together, helps us to consider the pulse of each transaction with a holistic approach.
Our services in the M&A space include providing advice on the structuring of transactions, advising clients on regulatory aspects including the Companies Act, and where applicable, the SEBI Takeover Code and corporate compliances, conducting legal due diligence of the target (where applicable), preparing, reviewing, negotiating and finalising various transaction documents including ancillary commercial documentation.
For any assignment, we work closely with our clients at every stage and assist in safeguarding our clients' commercial and strategic interests. Our teams specialising in M&A transactions not only address legal issues (which are expected from a lawyer) but also assimilate and provide commercial solutions wherever there is an impasse or if the transaction requires specialised structuring, keeping in mind the end objective of the client.
