Primary Uses of Legal Due Diligence

Business assessment

Typically, one company performs legal due diligence on another company; however, it can be utilized to investigate your own business as well. It’s particularly helpful if you’re considering a merger or major sale as it will give you a more in-depth understanding of your company’s overall worth. A legal due diligence process also helps a buyer understand a target business, including all its agreements.

Aid in determining target company’s value

Just like how it helps you determine your company’s value; legal due diligence will also give you a much clearer picture of another company’s worth. This value can be understood via information on agreements, assets, and potential problems of the company. Take note that the value of a company that’s being acquired or merged can’t be understood without determining relevant legal issues that are under consideration, making a legal due diligence process all the more necessary.

Drafting and/or review of relevant documents

Any information that’s learned through a legal due diligence process is essential in the drafting and negotiation of agreements in a transaction, as well as all related ancillary agreements. The drafting of an agreement is a detailed and complicated process, so it is advised that you seek the guidance and assistance of an experienced legal professional.

Closing problem identification

As mentioned earlier, a legal due diligence process reveals hidden risks so it can uncover ‘skeletons’ that may be hiding in the ‘closet.’ By uncovering potential problems, delays with the deal closure are more unlikely.
