As the leading law firm in India specializing in corporate legal services, we offer complete advisory and consultancy on mergers and acquisitions.

Our M&A services in India consider all the aspects related to this sector such as obtaining sanction of the High Court and satisfying compliance requirements of The Companies Act 1956. We handle various types of mergers and acquisitions with complete ease given the expertise of our legal departments and the experience we have gained over the years.

• Horizontal merger types are those in which two companies engaged in similar lines of business can merge together to achieve greater synergies or to rescue a loss making one or for one company to use the other company’s manufacturing facility or market infrastructure for quick achievement of its goals.
• Conglomerates may merge in which two large enterprises join together in order to achieve even better hold on the market.
• Reverse merger is a surprisingly new trend in which a profit making company is subsumed into a loss making company.
• Vertical merger is one in which a company may take over a distribution chain or a customer.

This is a complicated and involved process with a number of legal ramifications, each of which must be examined with care and handled with finesse in order that the M&A goes through smoothly. Our team examines the concept from all perspectives and comes up with a finely tuned proposal for our client that takes care of their interests while ensuring full legal compliance. From making the preliminary applications us 391 or 3r94 of The Companies Act to the shareholders meeting and post compliance, we take care of all matters and facilitate the process for a smooth transition. Apart from The Companies Act 1956 one must also consider the Competition Act 2002, Section 5 and ensure that no legal issues arise.

Where it is a case of merger with a foreign company or acquisition by a foreign company of an Indian company we ensure that SEBI Takeover Regulation and Foreign Exchange Management Act provisions are fully met. Our expertise in all relevant Acts applicable to M&A ensures that the process goes through without hitches and our clients do not face any legal or other issues during and after the merger or acquisition.

Apart from the legal angle, we also have business experts to advise clients on the viability of a proposed merger or acquisition much before the process starts.
