Mergers & Acquisitions

Our attorneys have extensive experience with purchasing, selling, and merging businesses of all sizes and types. Our dedicated M&A team assists our clients by providing industry- and transaction-specific guidance and expertise.

Every M&A transaction is different, and we customize our approach to each based on industry, client preferences, budgets, complexity, and negotiating power. For a typical M&A transaction, our team offers a broad suite of service offerings, and our clients are able to select the scope of our involvement. Because we are dynamic, creative, and entrepreneurial, our M&A team is able to adapt to client needs and preferences on the fly.

Some clients prefer a lean, particularized approach, where our services are limited to negotiation and drafting of definitive agreements and facilitating closing. Other clients prefer a full suite of end-to-end M&A services, including initial planning and negotiations, due diligence investigation and reporting, developing transaction and tax structure, financial and tax analysis, arranging and structuring financing, preparing and negotiating documents, developing intellectual property, employment, and transitional strategies, making necessary government filings, environmental and real estate issue identification and mitigation, permit and license transfer, and closing and post-closing services.
