Oaklins is one of the world's leading M&A advisory firms for the mid-market segment. With more than 850 professionals in 40+ countries, they close more than 300 transactions annually. In Germany, Karsten Maschler (Managing Director) and Moritz Jäger (Senior Associate) advise medium-sized companies on national and international transactions. They rely on Virtual Vaults – both as a tool and as a partner.

Flexible navigation through complex mergers and acquisitions

‘We plan every transaction in detail,’ says Maschler. ‘But in practice, things rarely go as planned. Then we have to improvise, and we expect the same from our tools.’ Virtual Vaults helps Oaklins remain agile without compromising control or security – from preparation to closing.

The data room as a crucial hub in due diligence

‘Due diligence is a fundamental part of any M&A transaction,’ says Maschler. With increasing pressure and speed on the buyer's side, accuracy is more important than ever. ‘Virtual data rooms ensure that business-critical data is shared in a traceable manner. If what has been agreed cannot be found in the data room, the deal falls through.’

Full control in the preparation phase

Moritz Jäger: ‘In the Workspace – the preparation section of Virtual Vaults – we manage documents, assign tasks internally and give each file a status, such as “on hold” or “ready for upload”. This allows us to see at a glance where we stand.’ For Oaklins, this means greater clarity, fewer errors and faster progress.

User-friendly for clients and buyers

‘Many clients are using these types of tools for the first time,’ says Jäger. "Virtual Vaults is intuitive, clear and easy to explain – even to M&A beginners.

We consistently receive positive feedback – from both sellers and buyers.‘ ’The Customer Success Team is fast, competent and solution-oriented. In the hectic world of due diligence, you don't always have time to wait – and that's when quick help really makes a difference."

Oaklins sees three structural advantages:

  • Ease of use – intuitive for advisors and clients
  • Flexibility – independently open data rooms and workspaces
  • Clear pricing – transparent costs, no surprises

"We now use Virtual Vaults structurally in the preparation of deals. My advice? Just try it.
