Mergers & Acquisitions<\/span><\/h2>

MovLegal’s Mergers & Acquisitions practice advises corporates, promoters, private equity investors, and startups across the full lifecycle of a transaction \u2014 from early-stage structuring to final closing and post-merger integration. Our team combines commercial pragmatism with regulatory precision, helping clients navigate the Companies Act, 2013, the Competition Act, 2002, SEBI’s Takeover Code, and FEMA regulations without losing sight of deal timelines and business objectives.<\/span><\/p>

Whether a client is acquiring a competitor, divesting a non-core business, merging two entities, or raising growth capital through a strategic stake sale, we work as an extension of the deal team \u2014 identifying risk early, negotiating protective terms, and ensuring the transaction closes cleanly.<\/span><\/p>

Our M&A services include:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Deal Structuring & Advisory<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 Advising on the most tax-efficient and legally sound structure for a transaction, including share purchase, asset purchase, slump sale, merger, or demerger routes, and evaluating the implications of each under company, tax, and stamp duty law.<\/span><\/p>

Legal Due Diligence<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 Conducting comprehensive due diligence covering corporate records, material contracts, litigation history, regulatory compliances, employment matters, and intellectual property to surface risks before they become liabilities.<\/span><\/p>

Transaction Documentation<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 Drafting and negotiating term sheets, share purchase agreements, share subscription agreements, shareholders’ agreements, business transfer agreements, and disclosure schedules.<\/span><\/p>

Regulatory Approvals<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 Managing filings and approvals before the Competition Commission of India (CCI), Reserve Bank of India (for FDI\/FEMA compliance), sectoral regulators, and stock exchanges where applicable.<\/span><\/p>

Scheme of Arrangement<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 Advising on and executing court\/NCLT-approved schemes for mergers, demergers, and reconstructions, including drafting the scheme, coordinating with valuers, and representing clients before the National Company Law Tribunal.<\/span><\/p>

Post-Merger Integration<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 Assisting with the legal aspects of integration, including contract novation, employee transfer, licence and registration updates, and closing conditions.<\/span><\/p>

Cross-Border M&A<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 Advising Indian and overseas clients on inbound and outbound investment structures, repatriation, and compliance with foreign exchange regulations.<\/span><\/p>

We take a founder-and-promoter-first approach \u2014 explaining not just what a clause says, but what it means for control, liability, and future flexibility, so clients can negotiate from a position of clarity rather than just legal caution.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
