Transactions and investment
Acquisitions, investments, company sales: every step has legal consequences. We watch for risks and opportunities from first contact through to closing.
Where to start
The first conversation about your transaction is free. Further legal work starts at CZK 5,000 excl. VAT per standalone task, so you know whether it makes economic sense before anything begins.
The investor’s language
You need to see quickly where the valuation cap, liquidation preference, vesting or drag-along works against you.
The price looks good, but part of it is deferred. We negotiate the earn-out terms, your control of the company after closing and protection against targets being missed on purpose.
Warranties, indemnities, tag-along, drag-along, deadlock and share transfers have to reflect the commercial reality, not just a template.
Founders and investors often work from US-style templates. We map the economics of the deal onto Czech law and point out what it will actually mean for you.

Acquisition risk analysis
Transaction structuring
Transaction documentation (SPA, SHA)
Negotiation support
Post-closing support
A transaction is a partnership. We work alongside you, not above you.
Approach
A thorough analysis of the target company's legal, financial and regulatory risks. You know exactly what you're buying.
We design the best structure for the deal and prepare the full documentation: SPA, SHA and security instruments.
We take you through signing and the fulfilment of the conditions precedent, and we remain on hand after the deal has closed.
From practice
Acquisition
The acquisition of a manufacturing company for tens of millions of crowns. On the surface, a clean business. Due diligence uncovered a hidden liability of CZK 3.5 million. The client didn't buy for less; they bought knowing exactly what they were getting, with protection in the SPA that covered the risk.
Joint venture
A foreign partner, the Czech market and a need to move fast. SHA, articles of association and compliance in 4 weeks. The speed came not at the expense of quality but of the needless delays that usually hold transactions up.
