Legal direction that brings peace of mind to complex processes

Every transaction involves legal choices. From shareholders' agreements in the event of a takeover to financing securities, the purchase agreement when selling or buying, or restructuring a company. Choices that seem small on paper, but in practice determine control, risks and continuity.

However, these are often the times when legal details and strategic intentions threaten to diverge.

Banks, lawyers/lawyers and advisors each have their own focus and as an entrepreneur, you get caught between the lines.

Working method

How we shape legal direction

Within every process that we supervise: buying and selling, financing or restructuring, we take legal direction.

We ensure that all agreements and documents are in line with the company's strategic course. Not by doing everything yourself, but by connecting the lines between entrepreneurs, lawyers/lawyers, financiers and shareholders.

That's where our strength lies: thanks to years of experience in complex legal processes, we know exactly where risks arise and how to prevent them.

Together with our network of specialized lawyers/lawyers, we ensure that your legal structure is correct, with the strategy, the figures and the future of your company.

Purchase and sale processes

When buying and selling, legal precision determines trust and value. We supervise the entire process from preparation to closing, including:

  • preparing and reviewing the LOI (Letter of Intent) and term sheet
  • drafting and supporting shareholders and purchase agreements
  • coordinating and carrying out the due diligence investigation, so that risks are visible early
  • coordination between buyer, seller and legal advisors

Most of these activities are carried out by our regular legal partners. Raeth monitors direction, strategy and progress.

Restructuring

In restructuring projects, we provide an overview and direction to complex situations.

We take care of:

  • drawing up a restructuring plan in line with the financial strategy
  • coordination with banks, creditors, the UWV and the tax authorities
  • guidance on legal documentation and decision-making
  • negotiating with creditors and all other stakeholders, such as suppliers, shareholders, etc., to make the restructuring successful

Raeth directs the process, monitors the interests of the entrepreneur and coordinates consultations with the parties involved.

Financing

A solid legal basis is essential for any funding.

We monitor the coherence between legal agreements and financial terms, including:

  • preparing and reviewing funding documentation
  • establishing collateral - controlling the terms of the financing to maintain future flexibility
  • following the agreements made and carrying out the necessary steps

Here, too, we work with specialized lawyers. Raeth ensures that agreements are not only correct on paper, but contribute strategically to the company's course.
