- Investment agreements
- Memoranda of understanding, confidentiality agreements, letters of intent and term sheets
- Share purchase agreements and all associated collateral agreements in M&A transactions
- Shareholder agreements
However, the deal does not stop there. We offer full support to buyers through a range of activities:
- Legal due diligence and data-room structuring processes
- Negotiating price and contract conditions

In each transaction, we work closely with the antitrust and competition team and with the industry practices involved to guarantee full compliance with regulatory requirements.
