Regulatory Compliance: Navigating the Complexities of Expansion

When acquiring a new company, the inherent regulatory liabilities the company faces may become yours, like possible pending legal actions, unresolved environmental issues, or financial reporting compliance problems. Hidden regulatory issues can kill the deal - literally! At CBGA we conduct a thorough regulatory review that goes above and beyond a basic review to uncover potential jeopardizing issues which could lead to problems after the deal is closed and the ink is dry. Understanding unknown regulatory issues helps both of us access - and if possible, deal with - unknown regulatory risk, adjust deal terms, or think through strategies you may want to adopt to deal with the compliance obligations you'll now be facing in the future as a consequence.

Compliance is not simply a check box during an M&A deal; it is an ongoing obligation that has implications for the success of the deal over the long-term. You will need to consider that poor compliance management could expose your business to reputational risks, operational inefficiencies, or significant financial loss in the future. We will assist you with the regulatory issues both during the transaction, and for your ongoing integration plan. We will lead discussions on compliance across multiple countries, industries, and legal environments; based on the size of your company for your needs to proactively support your company's success by focusing on growth and value.
