Mergers and acquisitions is a
specific area of corporate finance that deals with the purchase or the
joining of two companies. In a merger, two companies combine to form a
new business. In an acquisition, one company purchases another and
absorbs it into fully into the parent company or runs it as a
subsidiary.
There are many legal and financial nuances to mergers and
acquisitions that come into play. Typically, mergers are between
companies of similar size and influence in the market, while larger
companies usually purchase smaller ones.
Companies decide to buy or by
bought by other companies for a variety of reasons, which are usually
much different from the reasons why a company would merge with another.
Bilal Basrai helps his corporate clients navigate the possibilities and
the legal maze of mergers and acquisitions.
