Webinar: Due Diligence
Due diligence is the review and investigation of a business in order to provide sufficient information for a purchaser or lender to make a sound business decision and limit its risk in a commercial transaction. Due diligence enables companies to undertake transactions from an informed standpoint. It can add significant value for the buyer by showing where the target company’s weaknesses (or red flags) are as well as identifying some opportunities within the target company that it previously wasn’t aware existed.
There are typically four major types of due diligence in mergers and acquisitions: Financial due diligence, Legal due diligence, Operational due diligence, and Tax due diligence. The webinar will discuss how to conduct Legal due diligence with a focus on the review of material contracts.
