Everything you need to know about our legal services
It is recommended to involve the lawyer starting from the intent phase. Early involvement allows for preliminary legal due diligence, transaction structuring (holding company, asset or share purchase), and negotiation of the letter of intent (LOI). This secures negotiations before drafting final agreements and the shareholders' agreement.
