Booming Mid-Market Merger and Acquisition Calls for Better Due Diligence

Australia’s leading legal news portal Lawyers Weekly recently quoted Pitcher Partners and Mergermarket’s M&A report, Dealmakers: Mid-market M&A in Australia 2018 noting further growth in mid-market M&A would be expected in 2018, but due diligence would be a focus of improvement.

Generally speaking, due diligence provides you with a detailed understanding of the business, allowing you to have a balanced and informed view should you proceed with the M&A transaction.

Focus of due diligence

The focus of due diligence should be on structuring the deal and mitigate the deal risks. Overreliance on financial issues often underestimates the importance of understanding the business and its inherent risks which in turn causes delays in the due diligence process.
