The choice produces different outcomes in terms of tax, liability, contract assignment, and permit requirements. We determine the structure best suited to your transaction together.
No. Approval is required when the parties' turnovers exceed certain thresholds and a change of control is involved. We assess at an early stage whether the transaction is subject to notification and, where necessary, run the notification process.
The seller's risk is managed through representations and warranties, liability limitations, escrow mechanisms, and price-adjustment provisions. We structure the agreement in a balance that protects you against post-closing claims.
