Senior legal advice on ownership transfer and new business structures

Management buy-outs (MBOs) and management buy-ins (MBIs) are significant transactions where ownership, control, and financing converge. These processes require careful structuring, clear agreements, and legal guidance that understands both the entrepreneurial perspective and the interests of investors. Holthuis Corporate Law assists management teams, shareholders, and investors in MBO and MBI transactions within the small and mid-cap segment.

Management buy-outs (MBOs)

In a management buy-out, the existing management (with or without an investor) takes over the company. HCL advises management teams and selling shareholders throughout the entire process, focusing on balancing interests, financing structure, and future governance.

HCL provides support in areas such as:

Structuring the MBO

Legal due diligence

Drafting and negotiating transaction documentation (SPA, SHA)

Governance and control agreements

The focus is on reasonable and workable agreements that align with the operational reality of management.

Management buy-ins (MBIs)

In a management buy-in, an external management team joins as a (co-)shareholder. These transactions often involve additional complexity due to asymmetries in information and interests. HCL guides purchasing management teams and investors in structuring and executing an MBI, with particular attention to risk allocation and contractual protection.

The services include:

Structuring the deal

Assessment and negotiation of participation terms

Documentation of management and incentive arrangements

Coordination with investors and financiers

Support through to closing
