Mergers and acquisitions

LETT has the expertise and capacity required to provide all kinds of legal services related to the sale and purchase of businesses.

Due to our size and wide-ranging practice areas, LETT is able to compose project teams having the requisite expertise to handle the specific assignments in accordance with our clients’ needs and wishes.

LETT has assisted in a substantial number of transactions and has, as a result, developed established procedures and standards. This ensures our clients cost-effective advice, as resources are focused on the particular problems presented by the transaction in question.

LETT’s expertise includes providing advice on acquisition models and strategies as well as managing negotiations, preparing option agreements, letters of intent and transfer agreements. We also provide assistance in carrying out due diligence investigations and cooperating with our client’s other advisors in doing so.

In connection with business transactions we assist in restructuring businesses, in purchasing and selling businesses by auction and in implementing mergers and demergers. As part of our services we also assist as an active adviser in financing the acquisition.

LETT’s expertise within the field of mergers and acquisitions is complemented particularly by our specialists within company law and commercial law, stock exchange law, private equity/venture capital and taxes. Furthermore, our other specialist teams often assist in e.g. carrying out legal due diligence investigations.

In addition, we are able to provide expert advice on the impact of complex competition rules on mergers and acquisitions, including the scope of merger control according to national as well as EU rules.
