Mergers & Acquisitions

The firm’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practice involves the representation of both buyers and sellers of businesses, for the most part in the mid-market. Clients in this area include a cross-section of closely held businesses, including family-owned companies and those that are private equity backed, and virtually every other type of non-public ownership. M&A transactions involve both strategic and financial buyers. Our M&A team has extensive experience in all phases of M&A deals, from the letter of intent, through due diligence, purchase agreement, financing and closing, as well as the many agreements and negotiations that are ancillary to the main transaction.

Our attorneys frequently deal with the more challenging aspects of M&A such as earnouts, rollover equity, and the continuing relationship of the buyer and seller, and have developed close working relationships with accountants, investment bankers and other professionals who are part of successful M&A deals.
