In Merger and Acquisition (M&A) processes, price is only part of the equation. The real value of a company lies in its unencumbered assets and the absence of hidden liabilities. Legal Due Diligence is the tool that protects the investor from unpleasant post-closing surprises.
SD&MP Checklist for a Winning Due Diligence:
- Corporate Compliance: Verification of minute books, chains of title, and commercial registries.
- Real Estate Assets and DUAT: Ensuring that land occupied by the target company has all updated legal documentation.
- Labor Liability: Audit of contracts, INSS payments, and potential court actions.
- Intellectual Property: Registration of trademarks and software licenses.
- Environmental Licensing: Especially critical for the mining, energy, and agriculture sectors.
SD&MP has a proprietary audit methodology that provides the buyer with a clear view of risks and opportunities. Through our reports, we help negotiate indemnity clauses and bank guarantees (Escrow Accounts).
