M&A Consulting
Successful business transactions — whether mergers, acquisitions, or sales — require strategic planning along with legal and tax expertise. We support you through every phase to ensure optimal outcomes and secure, future-ready structures.
Our Services in Detail
Markets and competitive conditions are constantly changing, presenting new opportunities and challenges. Companies expand their activities, restructure, divest business units, or enter new ones through strategic partnerships and mergers.
All parties involved face numerous tax and legal challenges in the process. In addition to substantive issues, the right timing and the coordination of information and stakeholders are equally crucial.
The TLC M&A project team supports you through all phases of a transaction, whether you are buying or selling, both domestically and internationally.
Our experts have many years of experience in advising on the sale and purchase of companies, the formation of joint ventures, the execution of mergers, and in management buy-out and management buy-in transactions.
