Areas of Expertise
Labour Mergers, Acquisitions & Sales of Business
Mergers, acquisitions, and sales bring benefits but also significant impacts, especially on your workforce. This includes changes to composition, compensation, contracts, and pension obligations. Legal requirements must be considered in any commercial transaction, including mergers, sales, and insolvency. Our legal experts can handle strategic planning, due diligence, negotiations, and drafting employment agreements. We identify risks and design strategies to minimize them.
If layoffs are necessary, we ensure that they align with company goals. Our team advises on all commercial transactions, helping you navigate mergers, acquisitions, and sales successfully.
