MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Merger, acquisition, divestiture and partnering opportunities are significant throughout the life cycle of any company and for its owners or prospective owners. The financial, organizational, managerial and strategic problems which they create are different from the usual operating problems of any management. Solutions to these new problems can be very complex. Our team of senior professionals have broad experience in assisting clients in all aspects of the merger and acquisition process. We participate with clients from the earliest stage of helping to define objectives and the identification and search for potential merger partners through the contact and negotiating phase and finally on to the successful closing of a transaction.

Our professionals maintain a wide range of valuable contacts both domestically and internationally, within the financial community and throughout industry. Having worked with many large corporations, we are especially skilled at representing middle market companies in dealing with these larger companies as potential acquirors or strategic partners. The firm’s principals have represented a substantial number of companies in merger and acquisition transactions and have a high level of industry and execution expertise.
