Do you know what is the first thing you need to do if your client is looking to merge with another company? Or maybe acquire a company?
If you are a corporate lawyer, chances are that you must have gone through this process before. And if not, let me point it out.
The very first thing required is a comprehensive due diligence report. It is essentially an appraisal that enumerates the valuation of the other party, its assets as well as its liabilities and commercial prospects. A due diligence report is very important as it gives your client an exhaustive understanding of the company that they are willing to do business with.
Do you know all the transactions where due diligence should be undertaken? Private equity investment? Capital Markets transaction?
Can you prepare a requisition list?
Do you know how to write observations in a due diligence report?
Can you present data in the report in a manner that even laymen can understand it?
Due diligence is the bread and butter of any commercial lawyer's workload. It is one of the first things that you should know if you are looking to make something of yourself in corporate law.
Imagine two candidates fighting for a job at a law firm that specialises in M&A and capital markets transactions. One candidate has a certification in due diligence from a reputed institution. It is likely that the former of the two will get the job.
Same is the case with in-house counsel positions. Experience in the same industry as the company that is hiring is foremost but you also need to have a thorough understanding of due diligence. Its application, different sectors and the presentation of a detailed due diligence report are some of the things that companies always look for in their lawyers.
To help you understand all of this and much more, iPleaders in association with LawSikho brings to you a certificate course in investment and banking due diligence.
