Mergers and Acquisitions [M&A]

Learn More About small business services

What is a Merger and Acquisition?

A merger and acquisition [M&A] is a corporate strategy in which two or more companies combine their resources to form a single entity. 


In a merger, two or more companies come together to form a new company.

In an acquisition, one company buys another company.


The result of an M&A is that the participating companies become a single entity with shared ownership, management, and resources. 


What are the Phases in a Mergers and Acquisitions Process?

To ensure a successful M&A, companies typically go through a rigorous series of steps, including:

   

  • Evaluation.


  • Due diligence. 


  • Legal assessment of relevant law and regulation compliance.


  • Negotiation. 


  • Execution.


What are the Advantages of Mergers and Acquisitions?

Powerful tools for companies looking to grow and achieve strategic objectives, mergers and acquisitions advance economies of scale, diversify product offerings, increase market share, and reduce competition. 


How Can an Attorney Help with Mergers and Acquisitions?

  

  • Due diligence — Attorneys can review the legal, financial, and operational aspects of the target company, including its contract liabilities, intellectual property, and other significant legal matters. They can also assist in regulatory compliance by ensuring the transaction complies with applicable federal and state laws.


  • Negotiating the terms of the deal — Attorneys can negotiate the M&A’s purchase price,  structure representations, and warranties. They can also help identify potential legal and business risks and ensure the deal’s terms are reasonable.


  • Produce the required legal documents — Attorneys can draft all the necessary paperwork, including disclosure schedules, purchase agreements, and other transaction-related documents critical to the deal’s success.
