contact usOur merger & acquisition lawyers offer prepared, practical, and strategic legal services nationwide.
The Firm has represented clients in all sizes of transactions from smaller transactions involving asset sales of less than $1 million to multi-billion-dollar transactions. Regardless of the size of the transaction, the Firm recognizes the importance of the transaction to its client and works each and every transaction with the care, professionalism and attention to detail that its clients deserve.
Our merger and acquisition attorneys offer the legal advice and services that clients need in order to identify and reduce risk at every stage of the transaction.
The Firm recognizes the most important goal is to the complete the transaction on behalf of its client. In this regard, the Firm’s attorneys are very experienced and creative when it comes to resolving deal points and overcoming roadblocks that inevitably emerge in any M&A transaction, without ever losing sight of the client’s desire that its risks involved in the deal will be minimized.
Every M&A transaction is of the utmost importance to the client. The size of the transaction is irrelevant to the party selling his or her company or buying a company. Our legal team is sensitive to this overriding premise and will assist you in structuring, negotiating and closing mergers, stock and asset acquisitions, recapitalizations and joint ventures with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. The Firm’s clients have been acquired in multi-billion deals including the purchase of broadcast.com by Yahoo for over $5.0 billion in 1999 and Novartis’ acquisition of AveXis for $8.7 billion in 2018, and we bring this same level of skill and attention to merger and acquisition transactions involving significantly smaller valuations.
Merger and acquisition representations involve not only the big picture objective of closing the transaction, but also require a vigorous eye to detail, as it is those details that make a transaction a success for the Firm’s client. Since its inception, our Firm has been committed to helping its clients navigate these challenging and lucrative deals. Our merger and acquisition attorneys develop strategies that provide the management and tax efficiency suited to our clients' unique financial needs.
We have represented clients in over 300 merger and acquisition transactions in a wide variety of industries including technology companies, energy, health care and professional medical practices (including ophthalmology, dental, psychiatric and vascular), manufacturing and distribution companies, financial institutions, franchisor and franchisee companies, hospitality and restaurant companies and biotech and medical device companies.
With our focus on business transactions, we know how to drive deals from letter of intent to execution of the definitive agreements and closing. We are well versed with respect to market terms for transactions, which results in a more smooth and fluid experience for our clients, while ensuring they do not assume out-of-market risk.

“Great experience when selling our business (baby!) of 20+ years. Made me feel like I was the only client they had!”
