The Corporate – M&A team of Coblence avocats advises companies, their shareholders, directors and officers, as well as investment funds and family offices, on their strategic transactions involving growth, transfer and reorganisation.
It acts on the full scope of equity transactions, including full or partial sales and acquisitions, combinations, carve-outs and capital reorganisations. It also advises its clients on private equity transactions, from venture capital through to buyout transactions, whether majority or minority, including management reinvestment and incentive structures.
The team is able to handle the entire transaction lifecycle, from legal and tax structuring through to the negotiation and implementation of transaction and financing documentation, as well as the conduct of acquisition or vendor due diligence. Particular attention is paid to governance issues and to securing the lasting balance of capital and decision-making within the company.
The Corporate – M&A practice operates as part of a cross-disciplinary approach, in close coordination with the firm’s other practice areas, in order to deliver coordinated responses to the legal, economic and human issues raised by these transactions.
Mergers and acquisitions and private equity transactions require a global reading of the issues, beyond their purely legal dimension. The firm’s work is rooted in a strategic advisory mindset, integrating economic constraints, the balance between stakeholders and our clients’ long-term objectives.
Our approach relies on close collaboration with the firm’s other practice areas, in order to deliver coherent and coordinated responses to complex transactions, from their structuring through to their implementation and follow-up.
