Legal Due Diligence is a review and analysis of information regarding an entity and its business. While it is a necessary part of any transaction, it is especially imperative in the context of a merger, acquisition or investment as it is the process by which a buyer or investor in a company or business investigates the company to help the buyer determine the value of the company and the viability of the transaction. The primary goal of Legal Due Diligence is to find legal risks, analyze, asses and describe those risks, and recommend mitigating measures. It is a crucial step of every M&A process, and is a useful method to understand whether there would be any possible legal troubles attributable to an investment.
