Office Overview

M&A involves the purchase of a legal entity such as a joint stock company or a business unit (goodwill), which involves a complex combination of specialist fields such as management, accounting and law. For this reason, the transaction is often conducted in specialist terms, and it can be difficult to deal with some cases unless you are familiar with M&A practice, even among qualified professionals.
Although customers can obtain advice from their advisers, it goes without saying that the understanding of the final decision-maker – the customer himself – is of paramount importance.
Here, we have picked up the terminology commonly used in M&A practice and added explanations, which we hope you will find useful for a fulfilling sale of your company.
