Mergers & Acquisitions
Why is it important?
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become common tools among businesses. Through M&A, companies can grow faster than their competitors who rely solely on organic growth of their businesses.
In addition to the financial impact, M&A transactions can affect the company’s agreements with employees and suppliers. Therefore, the way these transactions are structured can turn out to be crucial for the on-going function and development of a business’ life.
