We represent buyers and sellers in merger and acquisition transactions of all types and sizes, including both negotiated and hostile transactions. We work with private and public companies and have particularly extensive experience representing domestic and foreign clients buying and selling businesses in the United States and throughout the world. We are actively involved with leveraged and management buy-outs, including structuring and securing financing for these transactions. Our work includes stock and asset acquisitions, mergers, consolidations, tender offers, exchange offers, spinoffs and rollups.

Through our interdisciplinary team approach, we bring a wealth of transactional experience to corporate M&A opportunities and address the host of business and legal issues that often impact the structure, terms and consummation of a transaction, including ERISA and pension plans, union contracts, employment agreements, intellectual property rights, antitrust hurdles, government contracts, real estate transfers, litigation analysis and defense, tax mitigation strategies, financing issues and securities law compliance. We also are experienced in proxy fights; analyzing, developing and defusing anti-takeover protection and deal protection; satisfaction of fiduciary obligations.

We also represent private equity funds and other investors that finance leveraged and management buy-outs. With the resources of our interdisciplinary team, we also have substantial experience in representing buyers and sellers of financially distressed businesses.
