Mergers & Amalgamation
Combine two entities into one - scheme drafting, NCLT approval, and the post-merger integration that determines whether the deal actually delivers value.
Most mergers require National Company Law Tribunal approval, a multi-month judicial process.
Small companies and certain holding-subsidiary mergers can use a simplified fast-track process instead.
Share exchange ratios depend on an independent valuation, contestable by dissenting shareholders.
Legal completion is only the start - cap table, HR, and systems integration determine real outcomes.
