Deal kind
An acquisition, an investment, a capital-markets issue or another transaction, each with its own checklist.
TRANSACTIONAL
Is the deal authorised and binding?
Upload the company's constitutional documents, resolutions and filings. LegalOpine builds the deal record, checks incorporation and authority against the company's own papers, and tracks every approval the transaction needs.
The brief
For acquisitions, investments and capital-markets work.
A transactional opinion answers whether the parties exist as they claim, whether the people signing have the power to sign, and whether every consent the deal needs has been obtained. Each answer has to be traced to a document.
-
Constitutional documents
Certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association.
-
Corporate approvals
Board and shareholder resolutions, powers of attorney and authorisations.
-
Statutory records and filings
Registers, charge records and returns filed with the Registrar of Companies.
-
Transaction documents
Term sheets, and share purchase, subscription and shareholders' agreements.

AUDITOR
Incorporation and authority, checked against the papers.
The company's documents are read for what a transactional opinion must confirm.
- Incorporation The company's name, CIN and registered office agree across the certificate, the constitutional documents and the filings.
- Objects and powers The transaction falls within what the memorandum and articles allow, and any restriction in the articles is flagged.
- Authority to sign A resolution authorising the signatory is on file, passed by the right body, and covers this transaction.
- Consents Where the law or the articles call for a special resolution or a third party's consent, its absence is raised as a gap.
- Charges Charges registered against the company's assets are listed for you to weigh.
