We provide legal guidance for transactions, from planning to completion, including:
- Letters of Intent (LOI)
- Due Diligence
- Share Purchase Agreements
- Asset Purchase Agreements
- Corporate Amalgamations
We have solid experience advising clients on both share and asset transactions, as well as corporate amalgamations.
Whether acting for a purchaser or a vendor, we ensure that transactions are properly structured, negotiated, and executed to protect your interests.
From the early stages of a transaction, we ensure that the appropriate confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement is in place prior to the exchange of financial and operational information. We also assist with preparing the documents required for a transaction and coordinating the due diligence process.
When representing purchasers, we conduct comprehensive legal due diligence to provide a clear understanding of the target business and to help assess potential risks.
When representing vendors, we assist them with the due diligence process by reviewing the corporate records and updating them where necessary, and by identifying and addressing potential issues in advance. This ensures that the information disclosed to prospective purchasers is accurate and complete. This proactive approach facilitates smoother negotiations and reduces the risk of delays or disputes.
We guide you through each phase of the transaction while working closely with other professionals involved (accountants, tax advisors, business valuators, etc.) to ensure an efficient and successful outcome.
Through our partnerships with professionals in West Africa, particularly in Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, who have in-depth knowledge of OHADA law, we support clients with transactions in OHADA member countries, offering valuable local insight for cross-border projects.
