Corporate Practice - Mergers and Acquisitions
Successful companies utilize mergers and acquisitions as important components of long-term growth and innovation strategies. Timing is almost always critical: opportunities can emerge and evaporate virtually overnight. Our corporate attorneys provide counsel critical for our clients to capitalize and close on these major opportunities.
Our attorneys advise buyers, sellers, investors, shareholder groups, boards of directors and other interested parties in all aspects of complex domestic and international business combinations and other forms of acquisition. We focus on the big picture by understanding and balancing our client’s culture, needs and vision, whether they are a small, family-owned business or a large, national or international corporation. With this focus, we collaborate with our clients to create value during each phase of the transaction.

Many times, our most important contribution occurs at the outset of the transaction when we assist our clients in their analysis, structure and planning of the transaction. This initial planning serves to inform the subsequent negotiations, diligence, document preparation, and closing.
When necessary, our Bankruptcy, Insolvency and Creditors’ Rights attorneys are prepared to represent buyers, sellers, and “stalking horses” in mergers and acquisitions taking place in bankruptcy courts and other forms of insolvency proceedings.
Likewise, the attorneys in our Intellectual Property and Technology Group help to ensure proper investigation is undertaken to determine the validity of key intellectual property, such as, patents, trademarks and copyrights, and resolve often thorny questions about the transfer of such assets.
