Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) involve complex due diligence processes to identify risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage vast amounts of information under tight deadlines. Effective due diligence helps buyers mitigate post-transaction risks by gathering insights into the target company’s operations, legal standing, and potential liabilities. Key strategies include assembling a multidisciplinary team, tailoring the scope of review to the deal’s specific needs, and conducting thorough compliance checks, especially in relation to global sanctions. A well-managed due diligence process not only facilitates smoother transactions but also helps buyers make informed decisions while minimising unnecessary costs and delays.
