Departments in a merger?

[Naveen Kas]

Hi everyone,

I just needed to ask what departments are involved in a merger? I have read the M&A guide written by Jaysen, but I am just slightly confused, hope someone can clarify.

Corporate will drive the transaction and then seek out support from other departments where relevant e.g. tax/finance/property/employment/real estate etc.

Sometimes, students are asked about the departments involved during the due diligence stage of an acquisition. And, sometimes, what the other practice areas may need to investigate. You may find this slide helpful from our M&A class:
