Why is it important to conduct due diligence?

The intergenerational transfer of a company is one of the most important and challenging steps in the life of any business. This process involves not only the transition of ownership and management but also ensuring that all technological and intellectual property aspects are properly addressed. Our law firm specializes in providing comprehensive assistance to companies during this transition, with a particular focus on technological and intellectual property due diligence.

Why is it important to conduct due diligence?

Protection of Intellectual Property:
Your intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights) is one of your company’s most valuable assets. We help you identify all assets, verify their legal status, and ensure their protection, so you avoid any loss of value or legal disputes.

Assessment of Technological Solutions:
We evaluate the technological platforms and software solutions your company uses to ensure they meet the latest standards and are not subject to legal or licensing disputes.

Identification of Legal and Financial Risks:
We help you identify and minimize legal disputes, debts, or liabilities that could impact your company’s future operations.

Compliance and Regulatory Matters:
We ensure your company complies with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements, particularly in the areas of data protection (GDPR) and cybersecurity.

Key Areas for Technological and Intellectual Property Due Diligence:

IT Infrastructure:

• We assess the hardware and software your company uses.
