Legal Due Diligence – fundamental to the entire Due Diligence process

Why legal Due Diligence?

Legal due diligence comprehensively informs about the business’ internal and external legal state. To be more precise, this is about potential risks arising from company law related issues such as founding a company as well as all relevant contracts, agreements and documents. Apart from that, the results are
included in the purchase contract’s “Guarantees and Warranties” part and secure the other due diligence processes. The result will be the report qualifying and quantifying any potential risks and showing any respective need for action.

Analysis Range of legal Due Diligence

  • Company law related documents
  • Contracts and agreements with customers and suppliers
  • Loan contracts and other contracts and liabilities
  • Work and employment contractual regulations
  • Suits and administrative procedures
  • Intellectual and commercial copyrights
  • Real estate
  • Pollution
  • Insurances
  • Miscellaneous

Stumbling Blocks

For the management a conflict may occur due to the desired confidentiality and the due diligence demanded by the buyer. Apart from that, the parties involved might disagree on how to interpret legal documents and the consequences they might yield.
