Mergers and Acquisitions

DWG Next delivers comprehensive legal and strategic support across the full spectrum of mergers, acquisitions, and corporate reorganisations, both domestic and cross-border. We guide clients through complex transactional landscapes by analysing legal, regulatory, and financial considerations that shape deal viability and execution. With a multidisciplinary and international team, we design tailored transaction structures that reflect commercial objectives while ensuring compliance with jurisdiction-specific requirements. We manage each phase of the transaction lifecycle, from preliminary evaluation to post-closing integration, maintaining a clear focus on risk management and strategic coherence. Our professionals collaborate closely with financial institutions, regulatory authorities, and counterparties to ensure seamless execution and sustained value realisation.

  • Assessing legal and tax implications of contemplated transactions and structuring accordingly.

  • Assisting in the identification and mitigation of legal, regulatory, and transactional risks.

  • Coordinating regulatory filings and approvals before competition authorities, securities regulators, and other competent bodies.

  • Supporting post-transaction integration processes, including governance and compliance alignment.

  • Engaging with investment banks, auditors, financial advisors, and counterparties throughout the transaction lifecycle.
