Transfer of business and generational change

Astria Advokater has considerable experience in the acquisition and sale of companies and generational change in companies.

We can provide assistance throughout, from due diligence, initial pricing and negotiation to final signatures and completion of transfer. Our assistance always takes as a starting point the client's commercial reality and needs.

We help in all stages of the process, including:

  • Initial negotiations and determination of terms

  • Organisation and management of the sale and associated transactions

  • Confidentiality agreements (NDAs)

  • Legal Due Diligence

  • ‘Data rooms’

  • Transfer agreements

  • Related agreements, e.g., ownership agreements, director contracts, cooperation agreements, non-competition clauses

  • Implementation of the transfer, including security documents, registrations, company law issues and publication

  • Wills/Succession

A generational change in a company or of assets involves the intersection of various specialist areas, including law, tax, valuation, etc. At the same time, every company and family has many personal considerations to take into account. 

We work to ensure good and durable solutions for companies, families and wealth, both within a lifetime and in the event of death, and we advise on:

  • Relevant considerations for family, business and wealth

  • Planning and structure

  • Valuation

  • Wealth protection in the event of divorce or death

  • Cross-border conditions
