Good preparation is crucial – corporate acquisition, M&A, transfer of undertakings, change in business operations

Acquisitions and reorganization measures must be well prepared in compliance with applicable transformation law: Frequent issues occur in German labor and employment law, as well as tax law. Retaining a German law firm with experience in reorganization law can thus be a tremendous advantage. Doing so will help with project management of a company reorganization and ensure that all of the necessary foundations for a successful transaction are laid under corporate law and all other relevant laws.

Project management before and during reorganization of company structure

Our business reorganization lawyers will develop a concept for the corporate acquisition or reorganization according to your plans and adhere to the current guidelines of transformation law.

Moreover, we take care of all of the individual steps in preparing the transaction. We negotiate the actual implementation with the target company or investors, organize due diligence audits, in particular

as appropriate and ensure the conclusion of the corporate acquisition contract and implementation in the most cost-efficient manner possible.

Reorganization and employment law

In connection with the acquisition or the corporate reorganization, we also negotiate with the works council. By involving the works council at an early stage, we ensure that the transaction is not endangered by collective bargaining law participation rights. Where a transfer of undertakings is intended within the meaning of Section 613a German Civil Code, we take care of legal design and implementation.
