Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are complex transactions that require a thorough understanding of corporate law, due diligence processes, and regulatory compliance. At DSDP Counsellors at Law, we offer expert legal services to guide businesses through every step of the M&A process. Our team ensures that transactions are structured effectively, due diligence is comprehensive, and all regulatory requirements are met, allowing businesses to achieve their strategic objectives while minimizing risks.
Our Services Include:
1. Due Diligence, Transaction Structuring, and Share Purchase Agreements
- Due Diligence: We conduct in-depth due diligence to assess the financial, legal, and operational health of the target company. Our team reviews contracts, intellectual property, liabilities, employee issues, and any other relevant factors to identify potential risks and ensure the target company aligns with your strategic goals.
- Transaction Structuring: We assist in structuring the transaction to achieve the best possible outcome, whether through asset sales, share purchases, or joint ventures. Our team helps design the most tax-efficient and legally compliant structure for the deal.
- Share Purchase Agreements (SPA): We draft and negotiate share purchase agreements to ensure that the terms of the sale are clearly defined. This includes price adjustments, payment terms, warranties, and representations to protect both parties’ interests and minimize risks.
2. Cross-Border Merger and Acquisition Regulatory Compliance

We work with relevant authorities to obtain the necessary approvals from antitrust agencies, securities regulators, and foreign investment authorities.
