Attorneys in our Mergers and Acquisitions Practice advise clients on all aspects of business acquisitions, sales, mergers, and recapitalizations.
We focus on middle-market companies with closely-held ownership structures. We know and understand well the issues facing owners. We handle transactions on both the buy and sell-side, including stock purchases, asset purchases, mergers, divestitures, and recapitalizations. On the sell-side, we have worked extensively with both strategic acquirers and private equity buyers, and we understand how to tailor our approach to each.
