We advise clients in structuring, negotiating and completing domestic and international acquisitions and divestitures. We represent bidders, targets, public and private operating companies, boards of directors, committees of independent directors, private equity firms and management buy-out groups in transactions.
Understanding that each acquisition or divestiture is unique, we begin each assignment by working with clients to develop and implement strategies designed to achieve client objectives. As we move from initial evaluation through due diligence and negotiation to closing and integration, we deliver solutions to the challenges that inevitably arise to achieve clients' goals.
