Venture Legal can provide all legal assistance in relation to investments in, or divestments of, shares in companies, such as conducting legal due diligence, contract drafting and preparation of other relevant documents.

There are usually considerable interests at stake in relation to an investment in a company, both for a purchaser, a seller, the company itself, and, as the case may be, for other remaining shareholders. In order for a transaction to be successful, all relevant parties being satisfied and to avoid any future conflicts, it is necessary to ensure that a transaction is sufficiently prepared and the documentation sufficiently captures the intentions of the parties.

Höskuldur has been involved in a significant number of M&A transactions, ranging from the sale/acquisitions of small companies, to some of the largest transactions carried out in Iceland.

Venture Legal emphasises the importance of seeking to ensure that the parties to a transac-tion are well informed, that the risks involved are clearly defined and that the parties are in agreement as to how those risks are divided between them.

Venture Legal can provide all legal advice and documentation in relation to any type of corporate finance, whether by issuing share capital, warrants, bonds, by entering into facility agreements or otherwise.
