In the world of mergers and acquisitions, the true value of a deal lies far beyond financial statements and physical assets. Today, you are acquiring a company’s entire data universe—and all its hidden risks and liabilities. A target company’s data protection non-compliance is a toxic asset waiting to be discovered post-close. The acquirer inherits these liabilities, which can materialize as crippling fines from the Personal Data Protection Service, costly remediation projects, and a sharp devaluation of the acquired asset. Legal Sandbox Georgia is your strategic shield in M&A transactions, protecting your investment from these hidden data liabilities.
Our specialized data protection due diligence is a surgical investigation designed to identify inherited risks before the deal closes. We conduct a deep-dive audit of the target’s data governance framework, from privacy policies and RoPA documentation to consent records and international data transfer mechanisms. We don't just find problems; we quantify the potential financial exposure, giving you powerful leverage in negotiating deal terms. We also advise on drafting specific representations, warranties, and indemnities in the purchase agreement to legally shield you from pre-existing data privacy liabilities.
Ultimately, our service delivers more than risk identification; it provides deal certainty and protects the core value of your investment. We ensure the asset you acquire is the asset you thought you were buying, providing a secure foundation for post-merger integration. To protect your next investment from hidden data liabilities and ensure deal value preservation, contact our M&A due diligence team for a strategic, pre-transaction risk assessment.
