Mergers and Acquisitions

An Indian transaction is shaped as much by the approvals it needs as by what the parties agree. We work on the structure, the diligence that supports it, and the documentation that closes it.

• Schemes of arrangement, merger and demerger under sections 230 to 232
• Fast track mergers under section 233
• Cross border mergers under FEMA Cross Border Merger Regulations, 2018
• Legal due diligence and disclosure schedules
• Share subscription and shareholders agreements
• Drag, tag, anti dilution and liquidation preference
• Valuation interface with Registered Valuers and Rule 11UA
• Competition Act notification analysis and green channel
• Post closing integration and compliance
