Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) refer to the processes by which companies combine or purchase one another. A merger is when two companies agree to join forces to become a single entity, while an acquisition is when one company takes over another and assumes its assets and liabilities. M&A activities are guided by corporate law to ensure fairness, compliance with regulations, and protection of stakeholder interests. These transactions can lead to increased efficiency, market share, and diversification, but they also involve careful negotiation and legal considerations to address potential risks and impacts on employees, customers, and shareholders.
