Acquisition of company assets

Law firms associating lawyers i solicitors witness legal services and advisory services for a wide range of company transformation processes. They handle transactions in the private sector and those involving public companies, including those in a particular financial situation (bankruptcy, insolvency). They act on behalf of both acquired and acquiring companies, mergers and demergers, operating in various industries.

They advise not only on the formal and legal aspects of the planned transaction, but also on tax and business aspects. Their services cover all types of transformation transactions, including those aimed at merging companies.

In accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Companies Law, capital companies may merge with each other and with partnerships. However, a partnership may not act as an acquiring or newly incorporated company and may only merge with another partnership by forming a capital company. Any company in bankruptcy or in liquidation may not be merged.

A merger can take one of two possible forms. It may be effected by way of:
