Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions (abbreviated M&A) is a branch of corporate law dealing with purchasing, selling, dividing and combining/merging with other companies or similar entities.

Risks and complexities are inherent in M&A transactions in any country which need to be clearly understood, properly addressed and eliminated. Ukrainian legislation is not a perfect one so every responsible investor has to have a clear picture while purchasing the assets and shall be well-informed about present or potential risks to be able to take a proper decision.

Our Mergers and Acquisitions lawyers have a great experience in such kind of projects ranging from local start-ups to multinational entities involved in the M&A process.
