M&A lawyers

Nysingh’s M&A team stands out thanks to its combination of legal expertise, experience in the industry and a practical approach. Our extensive experience in both domestic and international transactions helps us to oversee the legal aspects and speak the language of entrepreneurs, investors, financiers and directors. In addition, we work closely with specialists in tax law, notarial practice, employment law and competition law, allowing you to benefit from our multidisciplinary approach. We look beyond the deal and help you realise your vision while translating complex issues into clear and actionable choices.

International M&A transactions

Many transactions are international in nature. Our membership of TAGLaw, a global network of leading law firms, means we can also support clients with cross-border mergers and acquisitions. This guarantees you have access to high-quality legal expertise, wherever your business operates.

Selling your business

The sale of a business is often a one-off event. This means good preparation and guidance are essential. We ensure that you remain in control of the process and can negotiate with confidence.
Common reasons for selling your business:

• Reaping the rewards of years of entrepreneurship
• Creating room for succession or a new phase in your life
• Receiving an offer from a competitor or investor that would enable growth
• Preparing the business for sale (structure, contracts, governance)
• A need for capital
• Achieving economies of scale

Our sales support includes:

• Preparing and structuring the business
• Due diligence and responding to the buyer’s questions
• Letter of intent (LOI), NDAs and negotiation strategy
• Drafting the purchase agreement and delivery

Our role? We identify risks at an early stage, safeguard your interests and ensure you get the most out of the deal.

Acquiring or investing in a business

A strategic acquisition can be the ideal way to grow, enter new markets or take in innovative expertise. At the same time, an acquisition or investment involves risks. We will make sure there are no surprises and support you every step of the way.
Common situations:

• Expansion through strategic acquisition
• Increasing market share through a competitive takeover to achieve synergy, economies of scale and cost savings
• Investment in start-ups and scale-ups
• Joining via a management buy-in (MBI) or buy-out (MBO)
• Taking in technologies or expertise

(Return on) investment
Our acquisition support includes:

• Structuring and financing the transaction
• Due diligence (implementation and review)
• Negotiations and drafting of LOI and purchase agreement
• Recording guarantees and cooperation arrangements
• Integration of the business after closing

Our role? We combine legal acumen with strategic insight, respond quickly and maintain a clear overview in processes that often see many parties and deadlines converge.

Every transaction requires a tailored approach

Every merger or acquisition has its own dynamics, interests and deadlines. Our M&A lawyers combine legal expertise with practical experience and are always thinking several steps ahead. This allows us to bring calm and structure to an intensive process and help you make the right choices. From initial exploration to closing: you can count on a dynamic and results-oriented team with great attention to details and the bigger picture.
Our experience is evident in the deals we have concluded together with our clients. Whether it involves the sale of a family business, the acquisition of an innovative scale-up or an international merger, every transaction requires trust and a tailored approach.

Your legal partner for acquisitions

M&A is hardly ever isolated: a merger or acquisition almost always involves other areas of law. Depending on your situation, we work closely with colleagues specialising in corporate law for governance, shareholders’ agreements and structuring, employment law for reorganisations or business transfers, contract law for commercial agreements and guarantees, competition law for reviews by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) or the European Commission, and the notarial practice the best possible transaction structure. In addition, our attorneys keep abreast of the latest developments in the M&A market, such as the growing role of private equity, sustainability (ESG) and stricter competition rules, and we translate this knowledge directly into practical and future-proof advice.
