Ward Hadaway LLP – Legal due diligence
Legal due diligence is a critical part of any asset/share sale or purchase, but it doesn’t just involve our corporate team. Our workshop will demonstrate how different practice areas, such as corporate, commercial, employment and property, feed into detailed forensic due diligence, with corporate spear-heading and project managing the process.
You’ll hear from a number of our talented corporate solicitors who’ll provide you with a unique insight into a selection of their fast-paced and high-profile transactions. You’ll have the opportunity to work through a real-life due diligence case study and build upon your understanding of the way in which departments in a full-service law firm like Ward Hadaway can collaborate to assist one another, support our clients and provide tailored commercial advice. The added bonus? Attending our workshop provides you with the opportunity to conduct your own due diligence as to whether we are the right firm for you!
