Mergers & Acquisitions
Consider it a done deal.
From the smallest local asset acquisition to large, international business combinations involving highly creative financing, we offer decades of experience successfully directing merger, acquisition and divestiture transactions, as well as joint ventures and business combinations of all sizes. Our M&A team draws upon some of the region’s leading legal minds in the areas of takeovers, tax, antitrust, intellectual property, ERISA and environmental law.
We pride ourselves on our attention to the art of negotiation and our ability to draft clear straightforward documents. Our clients vary in size and industry, but they all share a desire to team with legal professionals who provide value-driven solutions through a business-minded approach and at competitive rates. Our clients appreciate that we focus on their goals and view the transaction from their perspective.
