SCHLATTER regularly advises domestic and foreign clients on corporate acquisitions and restructuring. SCHLATTER's clients in this field include owner-managed companies, freelance practices, and medium-sized corporations of all legal forms. The M&A practice group's advisory services range from share or asset deals, MBOs, and MBIs to (cross-border) company acquisitions and sales, as well as transformations in the form of mergers, demergers, or share exchanges, and agreements on the withdrawal and separation of shareholders and the acquisition of shareholdings.

The M&A practice group benefits from SCHLATTER's expertise in all areas of commercial law, as the necessary in-house experts are called upon when complex transactions are carried out and the best team is put together for the client. This means that all areas of commercial law relevant to corporate transactions can be handled by one team.

In addition, SCHLATTER's long-standing cooperation with the WSB companies, which are active in tax consulting and auditing and operate in Mannheim and Heidelberg at the same address as SCHLATTER, also enables the provision of services beyond pure legal and tax consulting. These include, for example, company valuation, financial due diligence, inventory observation, audits, and business plans.

For cross-border transactions, we can draw on a well-functioning network of advisors in the US, England, Switzerland, Singapore, and other countries. The M&A practice group therefore supports clients from the very first step (confidentiality agreement, letter of intent, tax structuring, due diligence, etc.) through to the end of the transaction (e.g., purchase agreement or conversion documents). The practice group is always led by a partner who acts as the client's direct contact person.
