Legal Due Diligence

The objectives of legal due diligence (LDD) may differ widely. Primarily, LDD is an integral part of any M&A transaction. The terms and timing of such transactions (as well as a decision to enter into a transaction) directly depend on the LDD’s outcome and quality.

Equipped with multiyear experience in comprehensive DDs and legal-only DDs (Acquisition and Vendor LDDs), we unfailingly select the most efficient procedures for each particular scenario, focusing on the client’s business and objectives pursued. All procedures are grouped by a specific area — you may choose the ones which suit best your business requirements. Legal due diligence in foreign jurisdictions is carried out by our international partners, working throughout the world.
