The route from A to DD: A roadmap for a successful due diligence

The value of a thorough due diligence process in any merger/acquisition transaction cannot be overstated. Not only does a due diligence (DD) provide comfort to an investor that the financial, operational and legal risks of its investment have been identified and mitigated, but it also provides scope for assessing and testing the valuation of the target.

However, there are ways in which an investor can approach and structure a due diligence investigation in order to maximise the benefit of the process and, very often, reduce costs.

Concerns about the effect of the judgment in the workplace were ameliorated with an interpretation of the law, mostly in arbitration awards, which found that employers remain empowered to set workplace policies regulating substance abuse, including the use of cannabis. This position was recently confirmed in the 27 June 2023 Labour Court judgment of Marasi v Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (C219/2020) ZALCCT 34.
