The process applies to most acquisitions, real estate deals, and joint ventures in Kumanovo and the Northeastern Region.
The Typical Engagement
- Scoping — we agree the scope, depth, deadlines, and budget. Red-flag review, full review, or something in between.
- Document request — we issue a detailed checklist tailored to the target. Standard categories are corporate, contracts, litigation, employment, real estate, tax, IP, regulatory.
- Data room review — documents are reviewed in a virtual data room. We tag, summarize, and flag issues as we work.
- Q&A round — gaps and ambiguities go back to the seller via a written Q&A list.
- Report drafting — findings are organized by severity (deal-breakers, material issues, minor issues, housekeeping).
- Report delivery — written report in English, with executive summary and recommendations.
- Closing support — negotiation of warranties, indemnities, conditions precedent based on findings.
