Mergers and acquisitions

A merger, acquisition, or split can sometimes have significant financial and legal consequences for the pension situation, especially if the situation is not compliant. The transaction not only affects the employer and the employees but also the pension provider. Can it still act as such, or does the acquisition create an obligation to join a (different) industry-wide pension fund?

Our experienced merger and acquisition specialists conduct due diligence research on pensions and related topics daily. We advise on and assist with the acquisition and address related issues, such as scope investigations, financial aspects, consultations with pension providers, and post-deal activities.

In mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings, KWPS frequently collaborates with - and is commissioned by - corporate and labor law attorneys.
