Mergers & Acquisitions

At Rödl & Partner, our strength lies in providing integrated M&A advisory services through interdisciplinary teams. Whenever we assist clients in an M&A transaction, we form a dedicated project team made up of attorneys, tax consultants, certified auditors, and labor law specialists. The entire process is supervised by a project manager with professional expertise, ensuring smooth communication between all parties involved and the timely completion of the transaction in accordance with strict quality standards.

Our services:

Well-Advised at Every Stage of the Transaction

An M&A transaction can generally be divided into three phases:

Phase 1 – Pre-Deal: Preparation and structuring of the transaction
Phase 2 – Deal: Negotiation, implementation, and closing
Phase 3 – Post-Closing: Integration of the acquired company and synergy exploitation

Each of these phases is interconnected. Successful transactions therefore require consistent coordination, organization, and negotiation throughout all stages.
