Transactional support is valuable when you’re negotiating a complex deal, forming a partnership, or preparing for a sale. Early involvement helps you avoid gaps in documents and reduces the risk of disputes down the line.
Due diligence is a thorough review of financial records, contracts, liabilities, and operations to uncover risks and confirm value. It informs negotiations and helps you decide how to structure and price the deal.
