投资并购中如何进行尽职调查？
投资并购尽职调查应涵盖以下方面：1）法律尽职调查——核查目标公司的设立及存续、股权结构、重大合同、知识产权、诉讼仲裁、劳动用工、合规经营等情况；2）财务尽职调查——审查财务报表、资产负债、收入结构、关联交易、税务合规等；3）商业尽职调查——分析行业前景、市场竞争、商业模式、客户供应商集中度等。建议委托专业律师和会计师共同进行，重点关注隐性债务、或有负债、知识产权权属瑕疵、劳动用工风险等潜在隐患。杨律师团队在投资并购领域具有丰富经验，可提供全流程法律服务。
公司并购有哪些法律风险？
公司并购主要法律风险包括：1）股权权属瑕疵风险——股权被质押、冻结或存在代持关系；2）隐性债务和或有负债风险——目标公司存在未披露的担保、保证、未决诉讼等；3）劳动用工风险——员工安置、补偿方案、社保欠缴等；4）知识产权风险——核心专利、商标、著作权的权属不清或存在侵权纠纷；5）反垄断审查风险——达到申报标准的并购需向国务院反垄断执法机构申报；6）税务风险——历史欠税、税务筹划不当等。建议在交易前进行全面尽职调查，并在协议中设置适当的陈述保证条款和赔偿机制。
并购交易中如何设计交易结构？
并购交易结构设计需考虑以下因素：1）股权收购vs资产收购的选择——股权收购继承目标公司全部权利义务（含隐性债务），资产收购可选择性收购但需办理资产过户手续；2）支付方式——现金支付（简单直接）、股权支付（换股收购，可延迟纳税）、混合支付（现金+股权+ Earn-out）；3）分步交易安排——先收购部分股权，再根据经营情况决定是否收购剩余股权；4）税收筹划——合理设计交易结构以降低整体税负（如特殊性税务处理）；5）风险分配机制——通过陈述保证、赔偿、托管、分阶段付款等方式分配风险。建议由律师、税务师和财务顾问共同参与设计。
