Alongside share deals, asset deals are among the most common forms of corporate transaction. In an asset deal, individual assets of a company are transferred. Our law firm supports both buyers and sellers in the legally compliant structuring and implementation of asset deals.

Our Services in Connection with Asset Deals
Whereas in a share deal – apart from the change of ownership – the legal relationships of the target company generally remain unaffected, in an asset deal the relevant legal relationships must be transferred individually to the acquirer.
Asset deals are particularly suitable where only certain parts of a company are to be acquired or where a targeted acquisition of specific assets is intended.
We provide comprehensive and practical advice on all legal issues arising in connection with asset deals. Our services include in particular:
- development of the optimal transaction structure
- legal due diligence
- contract drafting and negotiation, in particular asset purchase agreements
- comprehensive support throughout the transaction process
We advise our clients comprehensively on all legal issues connected with asset deals. Liability issues in particular may have significant implications in an asset deal. Employment law aspects arising from the transfer of a business or part of a business are also of fundamental importance. The smooth transfer of contractual relationships in the course of an asset deal cannot be taken for granted, which makes it all the more important to consider all aspects of the transaction and its consequences from the outset.
We also work closely with tax advisors to ensure that the transaction is structured in the best possible way from a tax perspective. For cross-border asset deals, we are happy to involve colleagues from our partner law firms within the Ally Law network.
