Corporate Attorney on Mergers and Acquisitions Due Diligence
Understand how a corporate attorney manages mergers and acquisitions through M&A legal due diligence, deal structuring, regulatory compliance, and risk allocation before closing. Successful mergers and acquisitions depend on more than commercial negotiations. A corporate attorney helps businesses manage mergers and acquisitions by conducting M&A legal due diligence, structuring transactions, and identifying legal risks before closing.

Third-Party Contracts in NYC: a Contract Lawyer'S Guide to Rights and Obligations
Whether someone who is not a party to a contract can enforce it is decided in New York by intent. Under Port Chester Electrical Construction Corp. .. Atlas, 40 N.Y.2d 652 (1976), a third party may sue on a contract only where there is a valid agreement, the parties intended to benefit that third party, and the benefit is direct rather than incidental. An incidental beneficiary has no claim, however much it was affected by performance. Because intent is what controls, drafting decides most of these disputes before they arise. An express clause stating that the agreement creates no third-party beneficiary rights is enforced in New York, and its absence is what allows the argument to be made. Where a benefit to a third party is intended — a lender, an affiliate, an indemnified party — saying so expressly is more reliable than leaving it to be inferred from the structure. Assignment is a separate question that gets confused with this one. New York treats contract rights as assignable unless the contract prohibits it or the duty is personal in nature, and an assignment of rights does not release the assignor from its obligations without a novation.

NYC Overseas Contracts: Cross-Border Enforcement and Compliance
An overseas contract should set the dispute forum, address how a judgment or award may be enforced, and account for US trade restrictions. A New York choice-of-law clause does not ensure a foreign court will apply New York rules or recognize a New York judgment. For goods sales, the CISG can apply unless you exclude it, and US sanctions may make performance unlawful even if the contract is valid. This guide separates governing law, dispute forum, and enforcement, plus the federal checks to run.
