Corporate governance is an evolving concern for many companies due to changing regulations and wide-ranging repercussions for lack of compliance. Companies want to adhere to best governance practice, but corporate guidelines can be both ambiguous and esoteric.

Distressed M&A

Distressed M&A transactions involve the acquisition of a group, business, or asset experiencing financial difficulties, usually involving debt, high illiquidity, or (close to) insolvency situations. These deals differ from “classic” M&A transactions in that the latter do not feature the same level of financial risk or urgency.

The Belgian FDI screening regime entered into force on 1 July 2023.
