Mergers and acquisitions: how to strengthen the HR analysis without extending decision timelines?

Brussels, 1 December 2025 — Companies preparing for a merger or acquisition must be able to assess their HR risks quickly and accurately. This is why Partena Professional is now integrating Jurimesh’s technology into its HR due diligence assignments, to offer a faster, more structured and documented analysis of social and contractual elements.

During a transaction, the assessment of employment contracts, fringe benefits, legal obligations and potential disputes involves a large volume of documents. This work is essential to secure the operation, but it is time-consuming and requires a high degree of accuracy. Through the integration of Jurimesh, a crucial part of this preparatory phase can be automated: the platform connects directly with the client’s data room, analyses documents according to predefined legal criteria and flags the main points of attention, with full guarantee of data confidentiality.

Thanks to a combination of AI models, legal handbooks developed with specialised law firms and a secure infrastructure, Jurimesh provides a clear overview of all risks associated with the HR aspects of a transaction. This gives our consultants and operational teams a faster and more reliable analytical basis, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: formulating recommendations and preparing the integration, with particular attention to critical elements such as culture integration and talent management.

“Our goal is to offer a more integrated, faster and more efficient HR due diligence. By spending less time on document review, we can focus on what creates real value: understanding risks, anticipating tensions and preparing concrete actions with which we support our clients before and after the transaction.” Dieter De Waegeneer, Chief Growth Officer, Partena Professional.

In this context, the integration of Jurimesh’s technology enables Partena Professional to strengthen the quality of the analysis of the HR aspects, often a determining factor in the success of a merger or acquisition. By relying on a tool that has already proven its worth in legal and financial environments, Partena Professional offers its clients a robust factual basis, while retaining its central role in interpretation, advisory services and preparing the integration of the teams.

“Partena Professional understands that good HR due diligence is not just about identifying risks, but about understanding them. By leaving the technical analysis to our platform, their experts can do what truly makes the difference: asking the right questions and delivering concrete solutions.” Jorrit Willaert, Co-founder and CEO, Jurimesh.
