Corporate Transactions

Every industry has its own regulatory and commercial DNA. Our Corporate Transactions attorneys draw on deep sector knowledge across technology, life sciences, energy, real estate, financial services, and consumer products to tailor deal structures that fit each market’s dynamics.

We work closely with SJKP LLP’s cross-disciplinary teams—combining M&A, antitrust, IP, and tax expertise—to build integrated solutions. This enables our clients to manage both the legal intricacies and the economic realities that define high-stakes transactions.

Our due diligence process is designed to uncover hidden value and mitigate potential liabilities. Using AI-driven tools and industry benchmarks, we analyze regulatory, contractual, and operational risks to inform negotiation strategy.

We deliver reports that go beyond checklists—identifying leverage points, cost-saving opportunities, and governance improvements to maximize the transaction’s overall value.

Global deals often intersect with multiple regulatory regimes. We guide clients through antitrust reviews, CFIUS filings, securities disclosures, and sector-specific licensing requirements to avoid costly delays.

Our lawyers coordinate multi-jurisdictional filings with agencies such as the FTC, SEC, European Commission, and CMA, ensuring synchronized clearances and regulatory confidence. We also assist in managing foreign investment restrictions and national security reviews, which have become critical elements of cross-border transactions.

Every deal involves risk—but with the right legal framework, risk can be controlled and strategically leveraged. We advise on indemnification structures, escrow mechanisms, warranty & representation insurance, and MAC (material adverse change) clauses that preserve value and reduce post-closing uncertainty.

By anticipating where disputes are most likely to arise, we enable clients to close confidently and defend their interests effectively if challenges emerge.

Cultural and operational integration often determine whether an acquisition achieves its intended goals. We assist in developing integration roadmaps, governance frameworks, and communication protocols that promote transparency and accountability across merged entities.

Our attorneys also help implement new compliance systems, evaluate inherited liabilities, and ensure that merger efficiencies are realized within the first 12 months of closing.

Even the best-structured deals can face post-closing disputes—over earn-outs, price adjustments, or breaches of representation. Our Corporate Transactions litigation team partners with clients to resolve these issues swiftly and effectively.

We represent clients in arbitration, mediation, and litigation before courts worldwide, balancing assertive advocacy with commercial pragmatism. Our goal is always the same: protect our clients’ interests while preserving the value of the underlying transaction.

We conduct targeted ESG assessments to identify compliance risks, reputational exposure, and sustainability alignment. Whether dealing with supply chain transparency or emissions reporting, our attorneys ensure that every transaction meets the expectations of modern stakeholders.

We also advise boards on fiduciary duties during complex deals—ensuring informed decision-making and adherence to governance best practices. Our training and documentation support enable directors to demonstrate diligence, transparency, and accountability throughout the transaction lifecycle.
