Part two includes post-closing integration planning, governance setup, and performance milestones to secure efficiencies and cultural alignment.
A merger combines two entities into a new one, while an acquisition takes control of another company through purchase.

In North Carolina, clear agreements and thorough due diligence help protect value. We guide clients through both paths to fit their goals.

More complex or cross-border deals can take longer due to regulatory reviews and extensive due diligence. Thorough preparation, structured milestones, and consistent communication help shorten cycles and improve closing certainty.

Customer and supplier contracts may require assignment or novation, so early planning reduces disruption and preserves relationships.
