  • Pre-due diligence audit
  • Deal structure
  • Pre-contract documentation (including confidentiality agreements and heads of terms)
  • Due diligence
  • Acquisition documentation (including purchase agreements and disclosure letters)
  • Post-completion matters (including integration)
  • All related employment law issues (including TUPE)
  • All related data protection matters
