Strong Representation From Initial Negotiations Through an Offer and Ultimately a Successful Transaction
Your Watkins Firm attorneys provide strong representation from initial negotiations through an offer, due diligence, closing and the transition period which follows.
We have developed proven and successful comprehensive proprietary due diligence checklists which provide intensive insight for our clients into every aspect of the target. We investigate and validate (or refute) the Warranties and Representations made by the other party or parties. Successful thorough due diligence covers investigation of every aspect of the target from their books and transactions to assets and liabilities. One must analyze the market of the target and whether it is growing, shrinking or stagnant and how the transaction will impact future performance in that marketplace.
It is important to review all existing contracts as well as the relationships between the target and its suppliers, customers and employees. There are always key internal personnel who must be locked in through the transition in order to ensure success. Conversations with key customers and suppliers provides insight into tracks for success and potential issues which must be addressed.
