Understanding mergers and acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are strategic business transactions where companies combine their operations, or one company purchases another.

A merger involves two or more companies that blend to create a new company, combining their resources and skills to work better together and compete in the market. On the other hand, an acquisition refers to the process when one company buys another, taking over its assets, customers and intellectual property.

The legal process of M&A involves due diligence to assess financial, legal, and operational aspects, structuring agreements to define terms and conditions, negotiating deals to ensure mutual benefit and finalising contracts to complete the transaction legally.

M&A transactions require careful consideration of regulatory compliance; therefore, expert legal guidance from a merger lawyer is essential to manage these complexities successfully.
