Decisions made during the planning stage of ownership changes or investor entry determine the course of the entire project. These initial agreements influence the scope of responsibility for the owners and management, as well as the operational flexibility the company will maintain in the coming months. A well-structured start allows for further stages to be carried out in a conscious manner, without the need to react to the consequences of hasty decisions made earlier.
We work with entrepreneurs and investors at the stage of organizing the assumptions of the investment project and choosing the course of action. We help translate business goals into a coherent legal framework, guide through negotiations and formal stages of the process, and provide support in implementing changes resulting from the new ownership structure. We work on both the selling and management sides of companies, as well as with buying investors, including industry investors, financial investors, and Private Equity and Venture Capital funds, at various stages of the investment cycle. As a result, decisions made at the beginning stay aligned with the client’s further plans and support business integration.
