Mergers and Acquisitions
Transactions from the first idea to the integrated business, with the diligence and valuation in between.
ALIPA advises buyers, sellers and investors through every stage of a transaction: choosing the target, valuing it, examining it, agreeing the deal and making the combined business work. The firm's lawyers and chartered accountants work on it together, so the legal, tax and financial questions are answered as one.
Our intellectual property practice gives our transaction work an edge. Our attorneys excel in due diligence, routinely uncovering issues in chain of title, encumbrances and obligations, or enforcement and prosecution deficiencies often left undetected by other firms.
Practices
- Strategy and Origination: Finding the right deal, and testing it, before a term sheet is signed.
- Valuation and Financial Modelling: What the business, and its intellectual property, are worth.
- Due Diligence: Legal, financial, tax and IP diligence, reported by what it means for the deal.
- Deal Structuring and Negotiation: The structure, the agreements and the approvals, negotiated to completion.
- Post-Merger Integration: Making the combined business one: rights, people, contracts and filings.
