About

Provided by Bird & Bird

Bird & Bird has extensive experience in domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, advising a large variety of companies, ranging from multinationals to small and medium-sized companies. The firm's full-service offering also provides specialist expertise in the areas of intellectual property rights, employment law and regulation law. One of Bird & Bird's key market differentiators is their ability to provide a seamless service throughout the entire transactional cycle, with particular emphasis on its pre- and post-executional aspects, such as planning and post-merger integration. These aspects are in great demand but thin on the ground when it comes to M&A advice. They may include the due diligence review, transactional advice, Competition & EU due diligence and merger control filings, corporate and workforce restructurings, advice regarding transitional services, technology separation arrangements or implementation of due diligence recommendations.


The lawyers at Bird & Bird cover the entire spectrum of transactions – ranging from small and mid-caps to multinational and cross-border transactions. The firm's client base includes multinational groups and large institutions as well as medium-sized companies and entrepreneurs. Bird & Bird prides itself on its project management – managing the teams of people involved in complex multi-jurisdictional mandates to deliver smooth and efficient transaction implementation for the clients.
