Mergers and Acquisitions
The issues in a merger or acquisition depend on the purpose and subject of the transaction and the plans for operations after the acquisition. Assessing the terms and feasibility of a transaction requires examining contractual obligations, contingent liabilities, permits and licenses, and decision-making procedures that cannot be evaluated by price and ownership percentage alone.
KUDO provides legal services from review of transaction structures, including share and business transfers, mergers and divisions, through legal due diligence, contract negotiation and closing. We address identified risks in the contract terms and preliminary steps, and clarify each party's obligations and timetable. We help clients understand the key issues and make the decisions required at each stage.
