Az M&A tranzakció folyamata lépésről lépésre

A sikeres M&A tranzakció nem sprint, hanem maraton: a jogi biztonság és az üzleti érdekek következetes védelmével érhető el valódi siker.
1. Stratégia és előkészítés
Eladói oldalon felkészítjük vállalatát az értékesítésre: feltárjuk a kockázatokat, rendezzük a dokumentációt, és biztosítjuk, hogy a folyamat gördülékenyen haladjon a vevőjelöltek felé.

Vevői oldalon segítünk megtalálni a megfelelő célvállalatokat, elvégezzük a piaci és iparági elemzéseket, hogy megalapozott döntéseket hozhasson.

Áttekintjük a társasági dokumentumokat, előre azonosítjuk a jogi kockázatokat, és olyan tranzakciós struktúrát tervezünk, amely biztonságosan és hatékonyan szolgálja az Ön érdekeit
2. Előzetes egyeztetések és titoktartás
Már az első lépéseknél biztosítjuk az Ön érdekeit.

Elkészítjük a szándéknyilatkozatot (Letter of Intent, LOI), valamint a titoktartási megállapodást (NDA), hogy az érzékeny információk biztonságban maradjanak.

Úgy alakítjuk ki az LOI és az NDA feltételeit, hogy azok maximálisan védjék az Ön pozícióját, és megalapozzák a tárgyalások sikerét.
3. Jogi átvilágítás (Due Diligence)
Részletesen feltérképezzük a célvállalat jogi, pénzügyi, adózási és működési kockázatait.

Átvizsgáljuk a szerződéseket, engedélyeket, folyamatban lévő pereket, szellemi tulajdonjogokat és munkajogi kérdéseket.

Időben azonosítjuk a problémákat, és konkrét, megvalósítható javaslatokat adunk azok kezelésére, hogy az ügylet biztonságosan záruljon.
4. Tranzakciós feltételek és szerződések kialakítása
Elkészítjük a részvény- vagy üzletrész-adásvételi szerződést (SPA/APA), és pontosan meghatározzuk a finanszírozási, garanciális és felelősségi feltételeket.

Olyan szerződési kereteket alakítunk ki, amelyek minimalizálják a jövőbeni jogviták esélyét, miközben az ügyfél üzleti érdekét tartjuk szem előtt.
5. Jóváhagyások és engedélyek beszerzése
Vezetjük a versenyhivatali (GVH) és EU-s engedélyezési eljárásokat, valamint az iparági szabályozói jóváhagyásokat (pl. pénzügyi szektor, egészségügy).
6. Zárás (Closing)
Gördülékenyen és biztonságosan zárjuk le a tranzakciót, elkészítjük a zárási dokumentációt és a cégbírósági bejegyzést.
7. Integráció vagy szétválás
Segítünk az új vállalatstruktúra kialakításában, folyamatok összehangolásában és szükséges üzleti, munkajogi, szerződéses módosításokban.

Elkészítjük az integrációs szerződéseket, munkaszerződés-módosításokat, szellemi tulajdon rendezését, a vállalat zökkenőmentes működése érdekében.
