Due diligence is the foundation of every successful merger, acquisition and divestiture transaction.
When seeking to acquire or merge with another company, it is imperative that the appropriate due diligence investigation is undertaken. The appearance of a great acquisition target or merger partner may not be as it would have initially appeared, either being overvalued or not being worth pursuing. As such, it is imperative that the requisite investigatory searches and reviews are completed prior to proceeding further (e.g., legal due diligence, financial due diligence, operational due diligence, commercial due diligence).
Comprehending the results of your due diligence investigations plays an equal, if not greater role, than the information that is revealed from the investigation, as it is this analysis that provides you with an assessment of the appropriate purchase price and any additional modifications or alterations required to the proposed business transaction. Your ability to effectively negotiate the correct terms of the business merger or acquisition shall be dictated by those results, making this process pivotal to the final outcome of the deal.
Our experienced corporate legal team is primarily focused on the legal aspects of the due diligence process, although we are also attuned to those other aspects of due diligence in the context of a corporate merger or acquisition, as they invariably have an an impact on the legal aspects of the particular transaction and are highly consequential to whether or not the project deal is completed and at what price. These aspects can become highly interwoven and cannot be overlooked, given the long-term financial ramifications of an incomplete or an inadequate due diligence process.
