Ongoing M&A Transactions

COVID-19 effects lead to new focal points in ongoing and future legal due diligence processes. In particular,

potential litigation in connection with unfulfilled or terminated contracts,
HR topics re plant closures, implementation of short-time work, dismissals for operational reasons and continued payment of wages without labor contribution,
questions as to insurance coverage for (interim) plant closures or
the application of specific data protection rules for employees infected by COVID-19

will have to be analyzed.

In the context of a (legal) due diligence and for existing investments in (portfolio) companies, the above requirements should also be observed.
