Details

Solicitors working on mergers and acquisitions, management buy outs/buy ins and other corporate finance transactions have to undertake due diligence as a core part of their workload, yet practical guidance for lawyers is difficult to come by.

Due Diligence: A Practical Guide aims to meet this need by providing a step-by-step manual of the complete due diligence process from start to finish. It brings together simpler transactional guidance with trouble shooting, potential pitfalls, points of concern and precedents to provide everything that the company and commercial lawyer needs in a single handbook. This is complemented with helpful checklists, diagrams and practice notes with tips and traps highlighted.

The know how is supplemented with a wealth of fully annotated precedents, team sheets, questionnaires and reports. All of these are included on the accompanying CD-ROM, allowing them to be placed directly on client files, and giving users a ready made practice toolkit.

Reviews

"Though many legal and financial services firms may provide new entrants with their own templates for engagement with due diligence, it is still advantageous to have a copy of this user-friendly transactional guidance ... it is the early practitioners who carry out the due diligence exercise which can make or break the success of the transactions and they would need all the help they can find ... a well-written operating manual"
