Hello, corporate attorney. These days I often hear the term corporate due diligence in connection with corporate acquisitions or investments, but I am confused about exactly what corporate due diligence is. What points are checked during the process of conducting corporate due diligence? And when carrying out a merger or acquisition, must every company necessarily conduct due diligence? I would be grateful for your answer!

It seems you are curious about corporate due diligence.
Corporate due diligence refers to the process by which, before a merger or acquisition, the acquirer reviews the counterpart company's financial condition, operational efficiency, legal issues, and the like.
Through this, one can identify the risks of the target company and, through an accurate valuation, propose an appropriate price.
In addition, one can also assess whether the target company aligns with long-term strategy.
Due diligence is conducted across several areas and is broadly divided into financial due diligence, legal due diligence, operational due diligence, and human resources due diligence.
Through this, key risk factors can be identified and response measures can be prepared.
Therefore, due diligence can be said to be essential when carrying out a corporate merger or acquisition.
This is because it is an important factor that determines whether a transaction succeeds, and thorough due diligence can minimize risks.
In addition, if post-acquisition integration is carried out smoothly, corporate value can also be maximized.
However, such corporate due diligence is not simply a matter of reviewing documents or contracts; it is a complex process of examining risks related to the company's actual operations.
Therefore, due diligence can be said to require the assistance of a legal professional such as a corporate attorney.
This is because a corporate attorney can establish a sound acquisition and merger strategy through thorough corporate due diligence.
