About the Service
We advise buyers, sellers, and target companies on all transactions where investment control (Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)) might be relevant – from company acquisitions, whether trade sale, bidding process, or distressed M&A, through restructurings, to minority interests and acquisitions. Our approach begins with an examination of potential reporting obligations or an assessment for a certificate of no objection.
In doing so, we develop a case-specific strategy to achieve maximum transaction security. We handle communication with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, prepare applications or notifications, and support you throughout the entire review or approval process. Furthermore, we advise you on planning due diligence and integrate regulatory requirements into contract drafting.
