Transaction Management

A transaction process often requires additional legal support due to an internal lack of relevant expertise or capacity constraints. CorporateWise provides this expertise and capacity and acts as legal counsel during a transaction. In this role CorporateWise directly coordinates with corporate finance advisors and lawyers. This support can be provided to sellers and purchasers, but is especially relevant for the company that is being sold or listed. We offer the following support to such a target company:

Phase 1 Preparation data room

During the first phase we advise the target company on the preparation of the virtual data room. CorporateWise prepares a tailor-made index and supports the target company with the collection of relevant documentation. During this process, we can perform a legal sanity check and correct any inconsistencies. A “clean” data room gives a potential purchaser the comfort that the target company is in control and will accelerate the transaction process. In addition, we also support management with all other legal aspects of the transaction and advise for example on possible carve-out issues.

Phase 2 Support (vendor) due diligence and Q&A process

In the second phase advisors are provided access to the virtual data room for the preparation of their (vendor) due diligence reports or a prospectus. We support the target company during the Q&A and disclosure process, advise on the relevant transaction documentation, including a disclosure letter.
