About the service

What is the Legal Due Diligence in Spain?

An investment or acquisition is a high-stakes decision. A Legal Due Diligence in Spain is the essential investigation that provides a clear and detailed X-ray of a company’s legal health before you commit your capital. It is your shield against hidden liabilities and unforeseen risks.

This process is about verifying all the legal information a company presents.

Our mission is to uncover any “red flags” that could impact the company’s valuation or create problems post-acquisition. We analyze every critical area of the business.

We conduct a thorough corporate review, examining the company’s deeds, bylaws, shareholder agreements, and board minutes to ensure its structure is solid and there are no hidden ownership conflicts.

Our team scrutinizes all commercial contracts with key clients, suppliers, and partners, looking for problematic clauses, termination risks, or unusual obligations.

A deep dive into labor law is crucial. We review employment contracts, social security compliance, and any ongoing or potential litigation with employees to assess potential liabilities.

We also conduct a tax due diligence, analyzing the company’s tax history to confirm it is compliant with all its obligations and to identify any potential fiscal risks or contingencies.

In the tech and brand-driven market, intellectual property is a core asset. We verify the ownership and correct registration of trademarks, patents, and software.

Finally, we audit for regulatory compliance, including data protection (GDPR), ensuring the business operates within the legal framework and isn’t exposed to significant fines.

Our deliverable is a comprehensive report that doesn’t just list findings but provides a strategic assessment. We highlight red flags, quantify risks, and give you the essential intelligence you need to negotiate better terms or, if necessary, walk away from the deal.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Legal Due Diligence in Spain

Why is a Legal Due Diligence essential before an investment?

It is your primary risk mitigation tool. It provides an independent verification of the target company’s claims and uncovers hidden liabilities that could significantly impact its value or even make the deal unviable.

How long does a typical due diligence process take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the target company. A standard due diligence for a startup or SME typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks from the moment all the documentation is available in the data room.

What is a "red flag" in a due diligence?

A “red flag” is any significant legal issue or risk discovered during the investigation. Examples include unregistered intellectual property, major tax debts, critical contracts without a change of control clause, or ongoing litigation.

Can the results of the due diligence affect the price of the acquisition?

Yes, absolutely. The findings are a powerful negotiation tool. If significant risks or liabilities are uncovered, the buyer can use this information to negotiate a lower purchase price or demand specific guarantees in the sale and purchase agreement (SPA).

Is this process only for big acquisitions?

No. A due diligence process is scalable and is crucial for any type of investment, from a seed round in a startup to a full acquisition of a large company. The scope is simply adapted to the size and risk of the transaction.
