The need for clear, factual information and legal background on the critical contextual issues is fundamental to the success of any merger or acquisition. Mercer’s M&A Human Resource Issues reports provide an overview of the human capital issues that are so crucial in making or breaking any chance of M&A success.

From our global experience of working with over 500 organisations on their M&A transactions, we understand that the demands of individual cultures, laws, customs and nuances vary widely and as such we offer these reports on a country-by-country basis.

Available for 14 countries across three regions – Asia Pacific, Western Europe and the Americas – the reports are designed as an invaluable tool, preliminary guideline, and useful checklist of the human capital issues involved in M&A transactions.

The reports discuss the following key issues: deal critical issues and legislation, labour relations, employment contract requirements, employee benefit programmes, and employee compensation.
