MERGERS - IMMIGRATION EFFECTS OF MERGER/ACQUISITIONS
Immigration is often forgotten from the Due Diligence checklist for Mergers and Acquisitions. Omitting this important area can result in serious and costly problems.

· Current workers that you believe would transfer with the surviving entity may not have work authorization for the new company.
· New immigration strategies may be necessary.
· Costly and lengthy delays (months or years) may result.
· I-9 Forms from acquired company may become the acquiring companies "headache".
· Price Negotiations and Planning can be affected.
