Our approach
Beyond the contract:
a well-executed transaction
A poorly prepared M&A transaction can destroy in weeks the value built over years. Our work begins before there is a buyer and ends after closing.
We combine the strategic vision of an advisor with the technical rigour of a firm backed by the Jurisserv network: lawyers, tax advisors, accountants and technical experts coordinated internally for each transaction.
Confidential consultation →When to prepare the exit?
Ideally 12-18 months in advance. The vendor due diligence, corporate cleaning and prior tax structuring make a difference in the final price and in the speed of the process.
Do you also cover buy-side?
Yes. We accompany both the seller and the buyer. On the buy-side, due diligence and SPA negotiation are the two fundamental pieces to protect the investment.
What about international transactions?
The Jurisserv network covers Andorra, Spain and France from a single point of contact. For transactions involving other jurisdictions, we work with selected correspondents.
Do you also do technical due diligence?
Yes. We coordinate architects, industrial engineers and experts for the technical part. The risks of a transaction are not only legal and financial.

FAQ
Frequently
asked questions
First confidential consultation free of charge.
Confidential consultationWhen should the exit start being prepared?
+
Ideally 12 to 18 months in advance. Prior preparation (vendor due diligence, corporate cleaning, tax structuring) can make a significant difference in the price and in the speed of the process. The sooner you start, the more options are on the table.
What differentiates a good due diligence from a mediocre one?
+
That it goes beyond the documents. The most relevant risks of a transaction are not always in the contracts: they may be in the actual state of the facilities, in non-provisioned labour contingencies or in latent tax risks. That is why we coordinate architects, engineers and technical experts together with the legal and financial team.
Do you cover transactions with international buyers?
+
Yes. The Jurisserv network allows coordinating the legal, tax and labour aspects in Andorra, Spain and France from a single team. For operations with parties in other countries, we work with selected correspondents for each jurisdiction.
Can you structure the exit of a startup with VC investors?
+
Yes. We design the exit documentation from the beginning to be compatible with venture capital standards: shareholders agreement with drag along and liquidation preference, price and payment structuring, and coordination with existing funds in the cap table.
