Always be deal-ready: A checklist for M&A-minded general counsels and legal teams

Growth is faster and easier when you're effectively managing your entities.

For large and small companies looking to grow through M&A, they need to be deal-ready at virtually a moment’s notice — and well before opportunity strikes.

And with interest rates expected to go down, and M&A activity expected to heat up in the coming months, opportunity can strike at any time.

That’s where a centralized corporate record comes in. A centralized corporate record houses entity information for tax, legal, finance and compliance purposes. If that sounds dry and mundane, think again. For today’s increasingly complex mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, it’s the tool you’ll be happy to have.

For pre-M&A due diligence, a centralized record saves time, giving executives, board members and business units a single place to find correct, current and consistent information. When even one entity can contain hundreds of data points, the efficiency gains of having this information organized at scale add up.

This 10-step checklist shows how general counsels and legal teams can be deal-ready ahead of any mergers, acquisitions and divestitures. It explains how to:

• Centralize all your entity and subsidiary data in one trusted location
• Speed up due diligence processes
• Give authorized users around your organization access to the deal-related information they need
• And much more
