Mergers and acquisitions law

M&A law is related to the legal consequences of transactions in which two separate entities become one, in the case of a merger or consolidation, or in which one acquires or takes over the other, by means of the transfer of assets, liabilities, equity or shares. This area also includes corporate restructuring, such as demergers, in which a company’s ownership or operations are divided up among other entities.
