Mergers & Acquisitions

We understand that M&A transactions are both financial and personal—especially for founders selling a business they’ve built over years. Our approach is thoughtful, responsive, and aligned with your long-term goals.

Comprehensive M&A Legal Services

We advise on a wide range of transactions, including:

  • Business acquisitions and sales
  • Asset purchases and stock purchases
  • Mergers and reorganizations
  • Ownership buyouts and succession planning
  • Joint ventures and strategic partnerships
  • Middle-market and closely held business transactions

We tailor our approach to the size, complexity, and goals of each deal—because no two transactions are the same.

Deal Structuring & Strategic Planning

Successful transactions begin long before documents are signed. We help clients evaluate deal structure, assess risk, and plan strategically to achieve the best possible outcome.

Our advisory services include:

  • Evaluating asset vs. stock transactions
  • Structuring deals to manage tax and liability exposure
  • Advising on valuation and risk allocation
  • Coordinating with accountants, brokers, and financial advisors
Due Diligence & risk Management

Thorough due diligence is essential to avoiding surprises after closing. We manage and analyze legal due diligence to identify issues that could impact deal value or future operations.

This includes review of:

  • Contracts and customer agreements
  • Employment and independent contractor matters
  • Intellectual property and licensing
  • Corporate governance and compliance
  • Pending or potential liabilities

We present our findings clearly and help you make informed decisions.

 

Negotiation, Documentation & Closing

We draft, review, and negotiate all transaction documents, including:

  • Letters of intent (LOIs)
  • Purchase agreements
  • Disclosure schedules
  • Ancillary and closing documents

Our focus is on clear terms, balanced risk allocation, and efficient closings without unnecessary friction.

 

Post-Closing Support

Our representation doesn’t stop at closing. We assist clients with post-transaction matters such as:

  • Transition and integration issues
  • Contract assignments and updates
  • Governance changes
  • Ongoing legal compliance

Many clients continue working with us as Outside General Counsel after the deal is complete.
