M&A and Asset Management

Mergers and buy-outs are based on a number of different motives, but common to all of them is the fact that the companies want the process to be completed as quickly and professionally as possible. This not only places specific demands on the management of the companies involved, but also on the quality of their advice, and not least their legal advice.

Grette’s lawyers regularly assist in merger and buy-out situations and have considerable experience of share-deal and asset-deal transactions. Our lawyers know the transaction mechanisms that are used and the various interests that must be taken into consideration in buying or selling situations.

Asset management has become a major growth area within the finance industry in recent years. Growth and changes in this field have mainly come about through the increase in pensions savings and reorganisation within finance companies. Our lawyers act as interlocutors and advisers for asset-management companies large and small and have excellent knowledge of concession regulations and framework conditions. We can help set up asset-management companies and advise on transactions to asset-management environments.
