Our mergers and acquisitions attorneys are regularly involved in all forms of acquisitions, mergers, dispositions and leveraged buy-outs. Ranging in amount from the very small to the multi-billion dollar, these transactions involve many different industries, including financial institutions, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, health care organizations, etc. We are also experienced with hostile takeovers and proxy contests, from both sides of those transactions.
Our securities law and mergers and acquisition practice areas overlap to offer our clients seamless counsel when the transaction involves stock or debt consideration.
We also are actively engaged in assisting our clients in developing and implementing the financing structure for their M&A transactions. These range from simple bank debt financing to very complex financing involving combinations of senior debt, mezzanine debt, subordinated debt, redeemable and convertible preferred and preference stocks, warrants, options and other equities. We are also very familiar with all forms of conditional, contingent, and other “earn-out” or performance-based pricing and payment structures.
Our merger and acquisition counsel is there through every step of the process: from target identification through due diligence, closing and post closing follow-up. We understand the urgency of the most competitive M&A situations, and are staffed to provide “24/7” service to our clients so that they can seize every time-critical opportunity. Our attorneys are experienced negotiators who work hand-in-hand with our clients to achieve the best contract documents and deal results.
