Cross-border · Practice guide · 13 September 2026
A practical preparation checklist from the AKHB website content programme. It is general process guidance, not a conclusion on an individual legal obligation.
Begin with the operating model
Define what will be sold, where contracts will be signed, who will deliver and where decisions will be made.
Map people, money and assets
Identify employees, contractors, intellectual property, goods, funding and payments across jurisdictions.

Prepare the next conversation
Bring the relevant facts, documents, jurisdictions and deadlines to the discussion.
Request a scoped review
