Kush Birdi - Financial and legal due diligence, what can go wrong!

Not being aware of the financial or legal implications of a deal can have disastrous consequences.   From intellectual property protection, staffing issues to outstanding debts, there are many aspects of a deal that need to be checked as part of your due diligence.   In this episode Kush Birdi and I discuss where due diligence can impact deals and our personal experiences working with both sellers and buyers throughout the due diligence process. We cover where lawyers and accountants fit into the process and the biggest problems we have seen throughout our time working in the acquisitions space.   “On the legal side due diligence is so important” – Kush Birdi   Timestamps   02:41 - How Julie supports acquirers with due diligence 05:09 - Where due diligence impacts deals 08:11 - Why due diligence is important for legals                 11:15 - Julie's experiences post acquisition 15:12 - Due diligence and lawyers 18:38 - The completion accounts process 20:25 - The biggest problem in acquisitions    Connect with Kush Birdi   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kushbirdi/ X - https://twitter.com/KushBirdi Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BirdiandCoSolicitors/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnxnIW2dWuwRRMTLC4-tUhg  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/birdiandcosolicitors/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@birdiandcosolicitors Birdilaw - https://birdilaw.com/   Connect With Julie Wilkinson   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliewilkinson-accounting/ Tik Tok – https://www.tiktok.com/@wasolutions YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@wilkinsonaccountingsolutio4018 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wilkinsonaccountingsolutions Website - https://wilkinsonaccountingsolutions.co.uk/   Before you go, don’t forget to leave a comment and review if you got something out of this episode!
