Business and Corporate Law

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

Mergers and acquisitions involve the combination of two or more companies, resulting in the formation of a new entity or one company absorbing another. At MB Legal, our specialists provide comprehensive support throughout these processes. In the case of acquisitions, we assist with:

• A thorough review of the target company, analyzing legal, financial, operational, tax, and regulatory aspects
• Identifying potential liabilities, risks, and undisclosed legal issues, such as ongoing litigation, intellectual property rights, or employment disputes
• Consulting on the optimal legal and tax structure for the acquisition
• Assessing and advising on the financial implications and tax obligations of the transaction
• Our goal is to facilitate successful mergers and acquisitions that align with your strategic objectives while navigating the complexities involved.

Business Separation (Split)

The division of an operating company into several separate entities can be executed through the distribution of assets or shares. In the case of company separations, MB Legal assists you in taking the following necessary steps:

• Ensuring that the separation complies with corporate laws, tax regulations, antitrust laws, and securities regulations.
• Preparing and submitting the necessary documentation to the relevant authorities, such as company registries or tax authorities.

We also conduct the drafting and review of legal documents, including:

• Separation agreements.
• Corporate governance documents.
• Contracts and agreements that reflect the new corporate structure.

Purchasing a business/acquisition

Purchasing a business or acquisition involves acquiring ownership of an existing company, typically to enhance market share, diversify product offerings, or capitalize on established customer bases. This strategic move requires thorough due diligence to assess the financial health, operational efficiency, and market position of the target business. Successful acquisitions can lead to synergies that improve overall performance, but they also carry risks, including cultural integration challenges and unexpected liabilities. A well-planned acquisition can ultimately drive growth and innovation, positioning the buyer for long-term success in a competitive landscape.

Sale of a Business

The complete or partial sale of an operating company to another company or investors, including the transfer of assets and/or shares. In the case of selling companies, MB Legal’s specialists assist you in taking the following steps:

• Conducting an internal audit of the organization to review the company’s legal, financial, and operational aspects.
• Consulting on the selection of a legally sound corporate structure for the sale, including reorganizations and the sale of assets or shares.
• Ensuring that the sale complies with all applicable laws and regulations, such as antitrust, tax, securities laws, and specific industry regulations.
• Providing tax advice, including capital gains tax, income tax, and VAT.

Corporate Reorganization
