A merger or acquisition is likely the most important phase of your business’ life cycle.
Regardless if you are a buyer, seller, target, or surviving entity, if you are facing a merger or acquisition, you need competent legal counsel who have significant experience in your industry and who can provide you with not only legal guidance, but sound business advice as well.
This is precisely where our mergers and acquisitions attorneys can help. Our team recognizes and understands the legal and business issues you are likely to encounter and we can help you navigate both.
We handle complex transactions and mergers and acquisitions.
Businesses nationwide rely on our extensive experience to help them accomplish their goals in mergers and acquisitions. Through the process of due diligence, the negotiation of key terms, the drafting, negotiation, and execution of definitive agreements, and beyond, we can help guide you to success.
Specifically, we always consider the advantages and disadvantages of tax-free and taxable transactions, the importance of asset allocation of the sales price, and how restriction agreements like non-solicitation and non-compete covenants will play a role in your deal. We can also help you obtain third-party financing.
We provide practical business advice in addition to legal solutions.
In each transaction, we will work with you to identify your key goals. We will then ensure that due diligence is performed with your objectives in mind, and that the final agreements reflect the deal you want to close. Taking a practical approach like this allows our mergers and acquisitions attorneys to offer practical business solutions and creative ideas to help you succeed.
Further, our work doesn’t stop when the ink dries. Rather, we follow through to ensure that all loose ends are tied up and any holdbacks or escrow arrangements are dealt with appropriately.
And we provide our services with the understanding that you hope to keep your legal fees low. As such, we offer competitive rates to help you succeed whenever possible.
