EspañolMergers & Acquisition
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) refer to transactions between two companies combining in some form. Although mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are used interchangeably, they come with different legal meanings. In a merger, two companies of similar size combine to form a new single entity.
- A merger occurs when two separate entities combine forces to create a new, joint organization.
- An acquisition refers to the takeover of one entity by another.
- The two terms have become increasingly blended and used in conjunction with one another.
