“Law on air” podcast: What a carve-out means for companies

Recession and stricter regulation are creating a clear trend: more and more parts of the company are up for sale. Regardless of the reason why companies divest individual divisions, a carve-out can be very challenging. Both the separation of the unit from the seller and the merger with the buyer can be very complex in legal and organizational terms, especially in international structures.

IT and communication are two of the biggest challenges

All areas of the company are affected by a carve-out. Due to the strict data protection requirements, IT regularly poses a major challenge. One problem that is often underestimated is the continued handling of internal service relationships. Communication with employees plays a decisive role in the success of a carve-out. Companies should always practice appropriate change management.

The core topics of the podcast are:

From min. 1:00: Why has the trend towards carve-outs become so strong?

From min. 1:40: The search for interested parties

From min. 2:15: What makes the carve-out process so complicated?

From min. 5:05: IT and data protection challenges

From min. 5:52: Dealing with internal service relationships

From min. 7:59: Carve-outs with an international focus

From min. 11:03: Communication and change management
