Legal services

Overview

Legal services Deloitte Legal professionals bring a strong combination of tax and legal knowledge and legal knowledge to provide clients comprehensive guidance across a broad range of critical business issues. Our services include:

Acquisition, divestiture, joint venture
Legal purchaser and vendor due diligence
Legal framework of supply chain management and distribution network
Statutory compliance

Acquisition, divestiture, joint venture

Expanding your business or shifting your strategy may require specialized legal knowledge that your existing team cannot provide. Deloitte can assist with legal matters throughout the acquisition and divesture process: drafting all required legal documentation from the letter of intent to the sales & purchase and related agreements, assisting with negotiations, and providing post-acquisition legal services. Highly skilled and experienced lawyers, working together with other Deloitte professionals in tax, corporate finance and financial advisory, can guide you through every stage of your project in a coordinated way, thereby reducing associated risks.

Legal purchaser and vendor due diligence

Strategic decisions often necessitate due diligence activities to fully assess the opportunity and to help ensure you identify and appropriately minimize risk. Deloitte provides legal due diligence assistance and coordination for buyers and sellers. We have many years of experience and a reputation for performing excellent work. You can be confident that the exercise is completed thoroughly and that the opportunity, associated risks and mitigating actions are identified. With Deloitte you will receive much more than a simple status report—you receive a 360 degree view.

Legal framework of supply chain management and distribution network

Deloitte provides services related to the overall legal framework of your supply chain and distribution network, from terms for production, logistics, delivery, sale and distribution, to post-sale warranty and services. The legal framework provided by Deloitte will match your business model and the tax strategy for optimization of service models and global cost/profit allocation.

Statutory compliance

Deloitte provides advisory services related to statutory compliance matters including organizational and international planning and implementation. We apply technology and innovative processes to develop highly efficient online and/or in-house learning and training programs and tools. This approach enables real-time monitoring of the actual compliance status within your organization and consequently provides you with functional, reliable and cost-efficient risk management strategies.
