Legal Opinion drafting:
The need for a legal opinion in a transaction is to provide an additional layer of assurance to the party receiving the opinion. In every loan transaction, usually the borrower’s advisor gives an opinion to the lender (but not the other way around). A legal opinion letter is an official letter made by a lawyer. Its purpose is to verify the legal status of you or your business.

Legal Audit – LA
Legal audit is a method in which the review of all processes and documents related to the company, employment, tax, social security, intellectual property and detection of other vulnerable activities, from the date the company was founded to the present time it is requested.

Due Diligence – LDD
Legal due diligence is the process of collecting and assessing all legal documents and information relating to a company.
The purpose of legal due diligence is to assess potential transaction risk by investigating the obligations and liabilities of the target company.
For years, legal due diligence was only used in IPO (Initial Public Offering) matters. Currently, Legal Due Diligence (LDD) has become a necessity for a company in the decision-making process, both transactions and corporate actions.
By delegating the time-consuming tasks of doing LDD to J&A, you can focus on analyzing the report and then you can consider it before making the right business decision or providing the right advice. This may involve reviewing:
- Contracts (customer contracts and licenses, supplies, operations and employees)
- Rent
- Pending and potential lawsuits
- Intellectual property rights
- Property and tax liabilities
- Environmental law
- Representations and guarantees
- Organizational documents (company regulations, limited liability agreements, shareholder agreements)
In Merger & Acquisition transactions, LDD activities mean collecting, understanding, and assessing all related legal risks. During the LDD, the acquirer reviews all documents related to the target company and sometimes even interviews people associated with it. The idea behind this investigation is to understand whether there will be legal issues in the future due to this acquisition.
Contract Draft
Legal drafting can be interpreted as a synthesis of laws and facts in the form of language. This is the essence of the drafting process. Legal Drafting in the legal sense, means the act of preparing legal documents such as notices, contracts, statements etc.
Legal drafting is important because it ensures that legal documents are well structured. A concise document that clearly states its purpose and application.
A well-designed document is the equivalent of a strong argument and can make or break a case! A legal document, whether it be a contract, a written statement, serves two purposes – informing and engaging the client and the court about legal matters. It becomes important for lawyers to compile all legal documents with precision, to clearly describe all important facts and engage the layman with their contents.
Business Agreement
