Your transactional lawyer for M&A processes in Germany

Mergers and acquisitions are highly complex business transactions that require legal acumen, diligence and foresight. A qualified M&A consulting is essential to ensure that corporate transactions are carried out efficiently, strategically and in a value-enhancing manner. The competent transaction lawyers at AHS Rechtsanwälte know exactly how to handle and optimize these complicated M&A processes and use their decades of experience to protect our clients' interests at every stage of the corporate transaction. You can always rely on our M&A advisors to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions in your M&A process.



Opportunities, challenges, solutions

Although M&As offer valuable opportunities for market expansion and product development, hastily entering an agreement with another company can jeopardize your business’s viability. Our specialized M&A advisors take the long view when advising our clients of their options. Having facilitated many multimillion-dollar acquisitions and mergers in Germany, we have a deep understanding of the steps you will need to take to close your deal. Before you commit to any course of action, we will provide a thorough explanation of the challenges you’ll face as you engage in the transaction and will identify solutions for overcoming these hurdles. Our specialized lawyers have substantial experience with the practice areas that intersect this business transition.

Interdisciplinary work

We use our knowledge of real estate law, intellectual property law, banking, finance and other legal fields to address problematic issues before they put your deal in jeopardy. We seek to reduce your risk by conducting due diligence on assets and entities that you have targeted. Partnering with accountants, business valuation experts and other professionals, we are able to determine whether your plan will enrich your business or burden it with toxic debt. As your M&A consultants, we are committed to identifying an effective and an economical approach. We are mindful of the expenses associated with these actions, so we utilize only the professional and legal resources that are necessary for your situation. Focusing on results and our clients’ bottom line are two of the reasons that so many of our clients remain with our firm and readily refer us to others.
