Your Mergers and Acquisitions Attorney is the Key to a Successful Transaction
Your mergers and acquisitions attorney in San Diego from the Watkins Firm is the key to a successful transaction. Recent advanced collegiate and government studies have shown the majority of mergers and stock purchase transactions across the country fail between 68% and 90% depending upon the source of your data. The Watkins Firm has a much higher percentage of successful M & A transactions across four decades of experience here in SoCal.
How can the Watkins Firm help to make the difference between a failure and a successful transaction in your unique situation? Mergers or a stock purchase or the acquisition of a substantial or controlling interest in a company is legally and financially quite complex. What makes the difference between success and failure? The short answer is effective and thorough due diligence including extensive planning for the transition after acquisition and the marriage of corporate cultures which must occur to ensure the successful transfer of goodwill.
Proprietary, Proven Watkins Firm M & A Checklists
The Watkins Firm has its own proprietary library of M & A checklists which have been refined and proven across four decades in successful mergers and acquisitions transactions here in California. We thoroughly review, analyze and validate Warranties and Representations as well as assets, debt obligations and contingent risks and liabilities.
The books need to be thoroughly reviewed. Due diligence extends to the market of the merger or acquisition. Have there been recent developments or changes which will affect the market potential of the target going forward? How stable and broad is the existing customer base? Suppliers? What key employees need to be secured during the transition and beyond to ensure the continuation of successful business? What precautions should be put in place to offset differences in key financial and legal metrics or unforeseen liabilities?
All existing contracts must be reviewed. Assets must be inspected and cataloged. Many vertical markets have unique legal and technical issues which must be addressed. Medical practices and the healthcare industry are a prime example of complex transactions due to extensive federal and state laws and regulatory compliance.
