Legal plays a critical role in a number of different business transactions.

Lawyers play a critical role in a number of different business transactions. Some lawyers have highly specialized skills in one particular facet of the law, whereas others serve in a more general capacity. 

Given the complexity and impact of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), there are many lawyers whose practice is entirely devoted to these sorts of deals. It takes a lot of hard work and oversight to ensure that a deal runs smoothly and closes in a timely fashion, so hiring seasoned counsel for M&A is an absolute necessity.

Here is what DVDW Lawyers will do:

M&A deals require a lot of documentation, such as term sheets, contracts, opinions, letters, registrations, and government applications, among other important written items. The drafting of these key documents also falls under the purview of the M&A attorney.  
In general, there will not just be one attorney involved in the transaction, but an entire team sometimes from one firm and sometimes from several firms who will work together. Lawyers often engage in a divide and conquer method of getting work done, so there may be a handful of folks specifically tasked with drafting. Of course, the words, grammar, and punctuation are all incredibly important to avoid potential disputes, so most documents will go through multiple rounds of review before being finalized.

DVDW is a firm of engaged and highly motivated attorneys with a feel for business. Quality, reliability and resolve are key words that describe what we do and who we are. Unlike many law firms that often seem afraid to give any opinion that is not hedged by disclaimers and reservations, we have a strong conviction in our ability to advise you. These qualities are the foundation on which DVDW has built its rapid rise into the top 50 of Dutch law firms, with offices in The Hague and Rotterdam.
