The scope of professional assistance depends on the structure, parties involved and regulatory requirements of the proposed transaction.
Business Merger Advisory Services
A merger can bring businesses, assets, operations and ownership structures together under a common corporate framework. While the commercial objective may be straightforward, the implementation often requires careful attention to company law, shareholder rights, regulatory approvals and corporate records.
Our Business Merger Advisory Services support companies considering mergers and amalgamations from the corporate and regulatory perspective.
Our assistance may include:
Merger Structure Review: Understanding the proposed transaction and considering the appropriate corporate structure.
Scheme of Arrangement: Professional assistance relating to the corporate and secretarial aspects of the proposed scheme.

For companies looking for Company Merger Advisory Services Ahmedabad, our focus is on bringing the required corporate and regulatory steps together so that each stage of the transaction is properly documented and addressed.
Business Demerger Advisory Services
A demerger separates a business undertaking, division or set of assets from an existing company and transfers it into another corporate structure.

Merger, Demerger & Takeover Process
Although every transaction has its own requirements, corporate restructuring generally involves a series of connected stages.
1. Understanding the Transaction
The proposed transaction, participating entities, business objectives and ownership structure are reviewed to determine the relevant corporate and regulatory considerations.
2. Structuring the Transaction
The appropriate merger, demerger, acquisition or takeover structure is considered along with its corporate implications.
3. Corporate Approvals
Required Board, shareholder and creditor approvals are identified and the relevant corporate processes are initiated.
4. Regulatory & Statutory Compliance
Applicable filings, notices, disclosures, approvals and regulatory procedures are addressed based on the transaction structure.
5. Implementation
Once the necessary approvals are obtained, the transaction is implemented through the required corporate actions and documentation.
6. Post-Transaction Compliance
Corporate records, statutory filings, shareholding and other relevant matters are updated following completion of the restructuring.
NCLT & Regulatory Support
Certain merger, amalgamation and demerger structures involve proceedings and approvals before the National Company Law Tribunal.
We provide professional support relating to the corporate and secretarial aspects of applicable NCLT processes, including preparation and coordination of corporate documentation, notices, approvals, filings and post-order compliance.
Where a transaction involves other regulatory authorities, the applicable requirements are considered based on the nature of the transaction and entities involved.
Due Diligence & Transaction Readiness
A restructuring or takeover decision should be supported by a clear understanding of the target company’s corporate position.
Due diligence can help identify matters relating to:
- Shareholding and ownership
- Corporate records
- Statutory filings
- Board and shareholder approvals
