M&A<\/span><\/strong> stands for <\/span>Mergers & Acquisitions<\/span><\/strong>\u2014i.e., <\/span>company acquisitions, sales, or mergers<\/span><\/strong> in which ownership and control change. In the mid-market, M&A is often the strategic route to <\/span> growth<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>market expansion<\/span><\/strong>, or a <\/span>succession solution<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An M&A project rarely affects only \u201cthe company\u201d\u2014it also involves shareholders, management, and investors. We advise in particular <\/span>buyers and sellers<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>(private equity) investors<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>family offices<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>mid-sized companies<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>subsidiaries of corporate groups<\/span><\/strong> as well as <\/span>MBO\/MBI structures<\/span><\/strong> (management buy-out\/buy-in). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>How does an M&A process work?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

A good M&A process is not \u201cpaperwork,\u201d but a clear sequence with a well-managed cadence. Typically, it includes: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

1. Strategy & target definition<\/span><\/strong> (Why buy\/sell? Which deal options fit?)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Preparation \/ M&A readiness<\/span><\/strong> (legal, financial, organizational)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Target search or investor outreach<\/span><\/strong> and confidentiality setup (NDA)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Due diligence<\/span><\/strong> (identify risks, assess them, derive deal mechanics)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5. Contract negotiations<\/span><\/strong> (e.g., SPA, purchase price structure, warranties, liability)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

6. Signing \/ closing<\/span><\/strong> incl., where applicable, <\/span>approvals<\/span><\/strong> (e.g., merger control)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

7. Post-closing & integration<\/span><\/strong> (implementation, governance, contracts, processes)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

This logic\u2014from preparation through integration\u2014reflects the standard process for mid-market deals and is the basis for speed and certainty in the process. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

M&A readiness<\/span><\/strong> describes how well a company is prepared for a deal <\/span>legally, financially, and organizationally<\/span><\/strong>. It sounds like \u201cpreparatory work,\u201d but in practice it is the difference between:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
