The management and implementation of takeover processes are a major challenge today. Whether it is a takeover, a sale of shares, a sale of assets or any other M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions) transaction, the time of closing a deal is preceded by a number of other steps that are key to its success. Determining the fair market value, identifying and contacting potential buyers / target companies, carrying out the appropriate depth of financial and operational due diligence, monitoring the entire process, ensuring contractual backing are all essential steps in a successful transaction, which also minimises the risks for the client.
In addition to the above, asset valuation tasks may of course also arise in other cases (e.g. in connection with reorganisations, restructurings, trusts).
