Due Diligence: A Practical Guide

Solicitors working on UK mergers and acquisitions, management buy outs/buy ins, and other corporate finance transactions have to undertake due diligence as a core part of their workload. Practical guidance for lawyers is difficult to come by. Due Diligence meets this need by providing a highly practical guide to the complete due diligence process from start to finish. It brings together simpler transactional guidance with trouble shooting, potential pitfalls, points of concern, and precedents to provide everything that a UK company and commercial lawyer needs in a single handbook.ËœThis is complemented with helpful checklists, diagrams, and practice notes with tips and traps highlighted. Also supplemented is a wealth of fully annotated reports, precedent letters, team sheets, and questionnaires ranging from the general to specific situations, such as UK companies with large property portfolios. All of these are included on the accompanying CD-ROM, allowing them to be placed directly on client files, and giving users a ready-made practice toolkit.
