The Challenge
Complex regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions threatened to delay a time-sensitive merger between a US-based technology firm and a European software company. The deal involved intricate intellectual property rights, employee retention agreements, and compliance with both EU and US regulations.
Our Solution
Our team implemented a comprehensive three-phase approach:
1. Early engagement with regulatory authorities in both jurisdictions
2. Development of a novel IP sharing structure that satisfied both parties
3. Creation of a hybrid employee retention program that complied with both EU and US labor laws
The Impact
The merger was completed two months ahead of schedule, resulting in:
- 30% increase in combined market share
- Successful retention of 95% of key employees
- Seamless integration of IP portfolios
- No regulatory challenges post-merger
Sterling Law Partners' expertise in both US and EU regulations was instrumental in completing our merger ahead of schedule. Their innovative approach to IP structuring became a model for our future acquisitions.
