Post-M&A Contract Integration

After a merger or acquisition, contracts from acquired entities often remain scattered, inconsistent, and unstructured - posing real threats to integration and compliance. Our Post‑M&A Contract Normalization service transforms those legacy agreements into structured, centralized assets that power your business moving forward.

According to Harvard Business Review, 70% to 90% of M&A deals ultimately fail - often due to poor due diligence, lack of integration planning, and misaligned operations.
 

Even with the best intentions, many legal and business teams are left dealing with:

• Thousands of contracts spread across multiple systems or departments
   
• Inconsistent formats and missing key metadata
   
• Unclear obligations, renewals, and risks
   

This lack of structure directly impacts post‑deal performance.

Research from IACCM shows that poor contract management can result in a loss of up to 9% of annual revenue, while PwC found that 12% of annual costs are spent dealing with contract-related inefficiencies.
