Mergers & Aqcuisitions Law

In recent years, mergers and acquisitions between corporate entities have increased significantly, especially between companies registered within the EU Directive 2005/56/EC of the European Parliament and the Council 2005/56/EC on cross-border mergers of limited liability companies, which have emerged as an important tool for mergers and acquisitions between companies across the EU, leading to new opportunities and possibilities for the corporate world.

The consolidation of companies can be enforced through various types of mergers and acquisitions, including purchase of assets of one company from another, purchase of common shares, exchange of shares for assets, exchange of shares for shares and management acquisition.

Our firm has been actively involved in mergers and acquisitions of companies and engaged in the preparation, review and completion of mergers and cross-border mergers.
