M&A & Restructuring

M&A Advisory Deep Dive

Lexunora’s M&A Advisory practice brings together transaction experience, sector knowledge, and practical execution support for businesses and investors. Our team advises clients across financial services, technology, healthcare, industrials, and other active markets throughout Europe.

Scope of Services

Our M&A support covers the full transaction lifecycle. For buyers, we manage legal due diligence across corporate structure, key contracts, employment matters, intellectual property, real estate, disputes, and regulatory compliance. We identify material risks early, support pricing discussions, and help structure protections for the post-closing period.

For sellers, we help prepare the business for diligence, organise data rooms, support management presentations, and negotiate transaction documents designed to protect deal value and reduce unnecessary post-closing exposure.

Methodology

Each Lexunora M&A engagement follows a clear transaction process built around assessment, execution, negotiation, clearance, closing, and integration. This structure keeps major workstreams visible, reduces delays, and helps leadership teams make informed decisions throughout the deal.

We assign focused workstream leads for corporate, employment, intellectual property, real estate, and regulatory matters. A dedicated transaction partner oversees the process, coordinates reporting, and keeps the client team aligned on priorities, risks, and required decisions.

Deliverables

Typical deliverables include legal due diligence reports, risk summaries, conditions precedent trackers, transaction documents, disclosure materials, regulatory filing packages, and post-closing integration checklists. For cross-border deals, we coordinate local counsel input to keep advice consistent across jurisdictions.

Timeline & Team

Mid-market transactions often move from mandate to closing within 8–16 weeks, depending on deal complexity, diligence findings, financing, and regulatory approvals. Larger or multi-jurisdictional matters may require a longer timeline. A standard deal team usually includes a partner, senior associate, associates, and specialist counsel where needed.
