Mergers and Acquisitions

Environmental image for practice area: Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions are among the most complex undertakings in business. Jonsson & Hall handles such transactions for buyers, sellers, investors and boards of directors, with emphasis on coordinated advice from preparation through to integration.

Specialised service and experience

Our advice may cover, among other things, transaction structuring, due diligence, contract drafting, financing, dealings with the Icelandic Competition Authority and communications with the boards and shareholders of both parties.

Jonsson & Hall handles both larger transactions involving listed companies and smaller transactions involving the purchase of individual business units, asset portfolios or subsidiaries.

We place emphasis on integrated advice — ensuring that legal, competition and corporate-law considerations are aligned and that the contract reflects the commercial rationale.

Our aim is for the contract to withstand pressure both before and after signing, and for the client to have an overview of risk, liability and next steps throughout the entire process.

Matters may include

  • Transaction structuring and draft agreements
  • Due diligence
  • Dealings with the Competition Authority
  • Financing and security
  • Post-acquisition integration
