End-to-End Legal Support for Public & Private M&A

At Luma Legal, we act on the full spectrum of M&A transactions — from early-stage strategy to due diligence, contract negotiation and post-completion integration. Whether you're acquiring, divesting, merging or defending, we guide you through the legal and regulatory framework with clarity and confidence.

Our experience spans a broad range of industries, including energy and resources, technology, consumer goods, education, transport, manufacturing, and professional services. We also regularly support smaller private businesses and founder-led companies on strategic acquisitions or exits.

No matter the size or complexity of the transaction, we focus on what matters most — protecting your position, unlocking value, and delivering a seamless legal process.
