Buying or selling a company concentrates years of value into a few months of decisions — and most of that value is protected or lost in the preparation. We lead transactions in Albania end to end for buyers, sellers, and investors: diligence that finds what matters, structure that keeps what you negotiated, documents that hold.
The discipline that protects value is preparation. We run diligence to find the risks that actually matter, structure the deal so it is efficient in tax and workable in the books, and draft protections that survive the optimism of signing day.
What we advise on.
Due diligence
We investigate the target's corporate, contractual, employment, regulatory, and litigation position and report the findings that bear on price, structure, and risk. Diligence is focused on what changes the decision, not on producing a phone book.
Deal structuring
We advise whether to buy shares or assets, onshore or cross-border, and how to fund it, with our tax team modelling each route. The structure is chosen for the outcome you want, not the one that is easiest to paper.
Transaction documents
We draft and negotiate the sale and purchase agreement, disclosure letter, and ancillary documents, allocating risk through warranties, indemnities, and conditions. The paperwork is where the commercial deal is either protected or given away.
Management & investor terms
We put in place founder, management, and investor arrangements — incentives, vesting, protective rights, and exit terms. Everyone's expectations are aligned and recorded before completion.
Merger control
We assess whether the transaction is a notifiable concentration and, where it is, prepare and manage the filing to the Competition Authority. Clearance is planned into the timetable rather than discovered at the end.
Signing to integration
We manage conditions, closing mechanics, and the post-completion steps that transfer the business in law and in practice. A deal is only done when the details are done.
How we work with you.
From the first term sheet, our lawyers and tax advisors work the transaction as one team from a single file, so a point that is legal, fiscal, and financial at once is handled by all three together. That is how issues are caught before signing rather than discovered after.
A senior lawyer leads and stays with the deal from opening to integration, coordinating the specialists each workstream needs. You negotiate from complete information, and you always know where the deal stands.
You are acquiring a business, a competitor, or a strategic asset.
You are selling your company, or bringing in outside capital.
You are consolidating a group or carving out part of one.
Transactions are structured under Law No. 9901/2008; a concentration that meets the turnover thresholds must be notified to the Competition Authority under Law No. 9121/2003 "On Protection of Competition" and cleared before completion. Public takeovers of listed companies engage Law No. 62/2020 "On Capital Markets" and the supervision of the Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority (AFSA).
