In the context of corporate transactions, target companies are systematically assessed. The instrument of due diligence serves this purpose. One facet of this due diligence is to review the legalities of the company you are interested in. The systematic assessment of these legal aspects is the subject of legal due diligence, for which you will find a structured checklist here.
The practical checklist addresses corporate law issues, workforce and organizational structure with 38 questions and potential litigation with 3 questions.
As a prospective buyer, you can write your findings after each item, use relevant sources of information, refer to attachments, name supporting documents, and write your comments. This creates a record of your review during the performance of legal due diligence. Following your inspection, having the seller sign for their confirmation will provide you with a valuable basis for the warranties to be defined in the purchase agreement.
This checklist is also valuable for sellers to carefully prepare for legal due diligence. Carefully review the items on this checklist and consider how you can find answers to them or what you need to grind in your business from a legal perspective before selling.
In order to support corporate transactions across countries, this checklist is available in German, English and Spanish.
