Bufete for corporate transactions

Review the company's contracts, negotiate the purchase agreement, draft the corporate documents and run the closing.

Stages of a corporate deal

An acquisition or a reorganization goes through the same stages. In each one Bufete does the first read or the first draft, and the lawyers decide.

  1. 01

    Initial agreement

    You sign the NDA and the letter of intent.

    Risk

    Exclusivity expires before the review is finished.

  2. 02

    Due diligence

    You read the company's contracts, books and litigation.

    Risk

    A change of control clause shows up late.

  3. 03

    Negotiation

    You negotiate the purchase agreement and its schedules.

    Risk

    A representation is left unsupported by the review.

  4. 04

    Closing

    You gather minutes, powers of attorney, consents and signatures.

    Risk

    A consent is missing on closing day.

  5. 05

    After closing

    You record the changes and follow up on what is still pending.

    Risk

    The deadline to bring an indemnification claim expires.

Problem

Due diligence means reading dozens of contracts in a few days. A change of control clause can change the price.

Review the company's contracts in one table

Bufete reads each contract and puts the same data from all of them in a table.

  • Assignment, change of control, expiration and exclusivity
  • Each value opens its citation in the contract
  • Flags the contracts that require consent
Problem

A weak representation or a low indemnification cap leaves the buyer without a claim after closing.

Review the purchase agreement clause by clause

Bufete reviews the contract from the buyer's or the seller's side and shows each finding next to its clause.

  • Representations, indemnification and closing conditions
  • Each finding comes with the recommended position
  • The lawyer decides what needs a change
Problem

Every deal repeats minutes, powers of attorney and resolutions with different data. Copying from the last document carries over mistakes.

Draft minutes and powers of attorney from templates

Choose the template and Bufete fills in the fields with the project data.

  • Minutes, powers of attorney, resolutions and contracts
  • Preview the fields before creating the document
  • Bufete shows the fields that are missing
Problem

A closing depends on minutes, filings and signatures from several people. One pending item is enough to delay it.

Run the closing with tasks and owners

The project brings together the tasks, documents and activity of the deal.

  • One task per pending document or filing
  • Priority, due date and owner at a glance
  • Overdue tasks stand out
Problem

What gets agreed in a negotiation is lost between calls and emails.

Keep what was agreed in every meeting

Hold the meeting by video call in Bufete. When it ends you have the summary, the client's instructions and the action items.

  • Key points and legal issues
  • Create a task from each action item
  • Recording and transcript next to the project
Who it is for
  • Corporate lawyers
  • M&A teams
  • In-house counsel
