Mergers & Acquisitions

Background hero atmospheric image for Mergers & Acquisitions

Our lawyers have extensive experience representing both buyers and sellers in a range of Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) transactions, including both asset and stock acquisitions and sales, recapitalizations, reorganizations, spin-offs, mergers, consolidations, and more unique structures.

Our clients include operating companies as well as strategic or financial buyers, private equity groups, management buyout groups and others varying in sizes and strategies.

Working closely with senior management of a buyer or seller, our involvement begins with preparing the company for a transaction and creating a road map toward a successful completion. We prepare management for issues that are likely to develop before, during and after a transaction, including ultimately the challenging integration issues. As an integral part of the team, we are intimately engaged in the planning, due diligence, structuring, negotiating and closing the transaction. Using the latest in artificial intelligence due diligence technology, we strive to make the diligence process more efficient and cost effective. Our goal is to plan and implement an efficient transaction that meets the company’s business and financial objectives, taking into account, among other matters, vital tax implications and deal economics.

No matter the nature or size of the deal, our team delivers creative and strategic M&A solutions that produce value for our clients at a reasonable cost.

Our clients span a broad spectrum of businesses, including:
