Mergers & Acquisitions |
The Firm routinely advises clients in connection with a full range of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions, both public and private. At the commencement of a transaction, we bring our problem solving entrepreneurial background and unique practical experience to structure transactions from both a corporate and tax perspective, and to develop a due diligence strategy that focuses on the key value drivers for the business, including analyzing intellectual property rights and assets. The Firm’s experience and knowledge help ensure that you will successfully negotiate and close the most complicated transactions. Regardless of a company’s size or stage of development, we make our collective expertise, gained from handling a multitude of successful merger, acquisition and strategic transactions, available to each of our clients. The Firm prides itself on being able to devote significantly more high-level attention to our clients’ matters than most other sophisticated law firms.
The Firm has extensive experience across the entire spectrum of business transactions, including:
- Mergers, acquisitions and sales of both public and private companies
- Stock and asset acquisitions
- Strategic investments and joint ventures
- Restructurings, recapitalizations and workouts
- Reverse mergers, exchange offers and alternative public offerings
- Tender offers and going private transactions
- Divestitures and spin-offs

The Firm has executed transactions across a diverse range of industries including digital communication and media, Internet, software and other technology based companies, as well as companies in the aerospace, apparel, life sciences, direct marketing, entertainment, transportation and consumer products industries, among many others.
In addition to negotiating and documenting a transaction from the letter of intent through closing, the Firm offers its clients comprehensive legal and practical counseling, working with you to identify the right mix of resources, both inside and outside our Firm, to successfully complete the transaction. The Firm often plays an active role in pre-acquisition or divestiture planning, including tax planning and working with management and other company advisors to help better position you for a strategic transaction.
While, in connection with any transaction, it is our objective to protect our client’s legal interests, the Firm never loses sight of your ultimate business goals and always strive to facilitate your business interests by providing practical and innovative legal advice.
