During a company purchase and sale operation, there are several stages in which our lawyers can provide professional support. Below are the main services we offer:1. Legal Due Diligence
Due diligence or legal audit is a fundamental process in the purchase and sale of companies. Our lawyers review all legal, financial, and operational documentation of the company to be bought or sold, identifying potential risks or legal contingencies that could affect the transaction. This includes the analysis of contracts, corporate statutes, intellectual property, licenses, permits, and any other aspect that may have an impact on the operation.2. Drafting and Review of Purchase and Sale Contracts
The purchase and sale contract is one of the most important documents in such a transaction. Our lawyers specialized in purchase and sale handle drafting or reviewing the contract, ensuring that all clauses are clear, fair, and protect the interests of both parties. Additionally, they oversee that the contract includes all necessary provisions for an effective transfer of assets, shares, and any other elements involved in the operation.3. Tax and Fiscal Advisory
The purchase and sale of companies and corporations often has a considerable tax impact. For this reason, it is crucial to have lawyers with solid knowledge in taxation. Our team analyzes the fiscal implications of the operation, seeking the most beneficial structure to minimize the tax impact and optimize the asset transfer process. This includes planning for taxes such as VAT, Corporate Tax, and any other levy that may affect the transaction.4. Negotiation of Terms and Closing the Transaction
A critical part of the purchase and sale is the negotiation of the terms and conditions of the operation. Our lawyers experienced in the purchase and sale of companies act as intermediaries in the negotiation, representing your interests to secure the best possible conditions. From the transaction price to payment terms, guarantees, and confidentiality agreements, we make sure every detail is well-defined and formalized.5. Corporate Restructuring
In some cases, it is necessary to carry out a corporate restructuring before the purchase and sale. This may involve changes in share capital, transformation of the company (e.g., from a limited liability company to a corporation), or the separation of certain business units. Our corporate restructuring lawyers can advise you to carry out these processes effectively and in line with the goals of the purchase and sale.6. Transfer of Assets and Rights
The transfer of assets is a crucial step in the purchase and sale of companies. This includes the correct transfer of assets, rights, licenses, contracts, intellectual property, and other company assets.
