Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) refer to the financial strategies involved in combining two companies (mergers) or purchasing one company by another (acquisitions). A merger occurs when two companies agree to combine their operations and form a new entity, often to achieve efficiencies, market share expansion, or enhance competitive advantages. An acquisition involves one company taking over another, with the acquired company becoming part of the acquirer or ceasing to exist as an independent entity. M&A can involve various financial structures, negotiations, and regulatory approvals, and are often pursued to achieve growth, diversification, or to exploit synergies between the two businesses. The process can significantly impact the companies’ employees, management, market position, and financial health. M&A are common in various industries and are key components of corporate strategy.
