Saya & Associates
Deals that close, and hold.
Transactions are easy to sign and hard to live with. The practice papers deals so the terms survive contact with reality — diligence, drafting, negotiation and the corporate housekeeping that follows.
Transactional work, start to finish.
Acquisitions & sales
Share and asset transactions — legal due diligence, transaction documents, disclosure schedules, conditions to closing and post-closing obligations.
Joint ventures & shareholder arrangements
JV agreements, shareholders' agreements, governance and reserved matters, transfer restrictions, deadlock and exit mechanics.
Investment documentation
Term sheets, share subscription and shareholders' agreements, and the charter amendments that make the agreed rights enforceable.
Restructurings
Group reorganisations, business transfers and slump-sale structures, intra-group agreements and approvals.
Commercial contracts
The agreements a business runs on — supply, distribution, services, licensing, franchise and agency — drafted and negotiated.
Ongoing corporate counsel
Board and shareholder actions, regulatory filings coordination, and day-to-day questions answered as they arise.
Negotiate the downside while everyone is still friendly.
The clauses that matter most in a deal are the ones nobody expects to use — indemnities, warranties, exit rights, dispute mechanics. The practice drafts for the day the relationship is tested, because that is the day the document earns its fee.
Where a transaction touches data, technology or employment, the privacy and employment practices work inside the same engagement rather than as a referral.
Every commercial call is yours, made on the record.
Structure
Agree the shape of the deal — entities, sequence, approvals and conditions — before drafting begins.
Paper
Documents drafted and negotiated with a clear issues list, so commercial calls are made by you, deliberately.
Close & hold
Closing mechanics run to a checklist; post-closing obligations diarised so nothing agreed gets forgotten.
