Litera Transact
M&A and Private Equity
When corporate legal teams help clients sell, acquire, and combine businesses, coordinate leveraged buyouts, raise capital, and manage distressed investments, closing deals on time is critical. When deals involve numerous parties, the review and negotiation of a multitude of documents, and the transfer of millions to billions of dollars to different stakeholders, legal teams lose valuable time revising checklists, sending updates, managing signatures, and creating closing books.
4 Major Pain Points in M&A and Private Equity Transactions
Controlling Due Diligence
Due to the substantial size of these transactions, careful diligence is required. This process involves the review of large sets of documents by many different parties.
Managing Checklists
Manually updating large checklists and sending and receiving documents through email makes it difficult to keep track of all versions and deliverables throughout the closing process.
Managing Signatures
Creating signature pages for all documents that need to be signed, and compiling, sending, and tracking signature packets for each signer takes time away from higher-priority work.
Creating Custom Closing Books
When multiple parties are involved in a deal, there are piles of documents and unique versions of closing books that need to be made. Closing book creation can take hours to weeks.
