Corporate acquisitions

Corporate acquisitions require the coordination of numerous legal, financial and organizational matters within a relatively short timeframe. The process begins with negotiations, during which it is critical to address the appropriate legal and commercial topics at an early stage. Proper structuring of these negotiations helps prevent situations in which the parties must reopen discussions later while drafting the sale and purchase agreement—an occurrence that can delay completion, increase transaction costs and create unnecessary uncertainty.

Effective legal guidance during an acquisition ensures that risks are identified and managed, expectations are aligned, and the transaction proceeds as efficiently as possible. Wise Law BV supports clients throughout every phase of the acquisition process, from the initial exploratory discussions to closing and post-transaction integration. Our involvement helps safeguard your commercial interests while maintaining a constructive working relationship with the counterparty, which is often essential for long-term cooperation or transitional arrangements.

Wise Law BV’s specialist expertise in both legal and financial matters contributes significantly to the success of corporate acquisitions. Our services may include, among others:

  • Structuren and managing negotiaties
  • Drafting and reviewing term sheets, letters of intent and heads of agreement
  • Conducting or coordinating legal due diligence
  • Identifying and mitigating transaction risks, including regulatory, fiscal and governance risks
  • Drafting and negotiating share purchase agreements (SPAs), asset purchase agreements (APAs) and related transaction documents
  • Advising on representations and warranties, indemnities, earn-outs and price-adjustment mechanisms
  • Supporting closing formalities and corporate approvals
  • Advising on post-acquisition governance structures and integration measures

Our international orientation enables us to work seamlessly with foreign companies and cross-border structures, ensuring that Dutch legal considerations align with the broader strategic and regulatory requirements of multinational transactions. With Wise Law BV as your advisor, you benefit from a combination of legal precision, financial understanding and strategic insight—key elements for achieving an efficient, secure and successful acquisition.

Company Law

Company law governs the internal structure, operating rules and organisation of a business. It determines how management responsibilities are allocated and specifies the legal formalities that directors, officers and other corporate bodies must observe.

Shareholders disputes

If, as a shareholder, you are confronted with a deadlock, an abuse of majority power, issues concerning the performance of a shareholders’ agreement, or any situation in which the governance or continuity of the company is seriously affected, Wise Law BV can assist you.

Corporate acquisitions

Corporate acquisitions require numerous arrangements to be made within a short timeframe. The process begins with negotiations, during which addressing the appropriate legal issues at an early stage helps prevent the need to reopen discussions when drafting the sale and purchase agreement.

Financial products

Financial products include all non-personal financial market agreements, such as the offering of shares or bonds to multiple investors, the provision of lending arrangements, and the offering of standardized financial services including credit management and factoring.

Financial enterprises

Financial enterprises are increasingly required to implement structured procedures to comply with the expanding regulatory framework governing the financial sector. The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) conduct frequent supervisory checks, particularly regarding compliance with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wft).

Financial disputes

Financial arrangements are often complex and typically involve significant interests. It is not always the case that financial institutions and their clients perform their agreements in a manner satisfactory to both parties. Wise Law BV has extensive experience in resolving disputes arising between financial enterprises and their customers.
