Drafting documents
Notarial deeds, such as merger proposals, shareholder resolutions and the deed of transfer or merger, are carefully prepared by us.
Signing and completion
We guide the process through to the closing of the merger or acquisition.
With Westvaer by your side, you don’t have to worry about legal complications or unexpected issues.
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, mergers and acquisitions are fundamentally different:
Two or more companies are combined into a single new entity.
One party acquires the shares or assets of another company.
In both situations, a notary is essential to formalize the transactions.
Here we answer some frequently asked questions:
Yes. Without notarial deeds, mergers and acquisitions are not legally valid. Additionally, the notary ensures neutral and transparent guidance, which is crucial in complex negotiations.
In a merger, companies are combined, while in a demerger, a company is split into multiple legal entities. Both processes require a notary to ensure the transactions are completed correctly from a legal standpoint.
The duration depends on the complexity of the process. A simple acquisition can be completed within a few weeks, while a complex merger or acquisition may take several months. Westvaer ensures a smooth process, regardless of the scope. We collaborate with all involved advisors, such as lawyers, tax specialists, and accountants.
