Mergers & Acquisitions

Buying and Selling Companies, Stock and Assets

Few events in a company’s life cycle are as potentially transformational, and rife with opportunities and risks, as mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Whether you are a private equity sponsor, a private business looking to expand or liquidate or a public company pursuing inorganic growth or disposing of non-core assets, M&A deals can consume a substantial share of your team’s resources and mindshare before, during and after negotiation and consummation of a deal.

They can also have lasting post-closing ramifications, both good and bad, in the form of effects on your operations, leadership and personnel, ownership, brands, vendor and customer relationships, strategic opportunities, debt and liquidity, liabilities, cash flows, earnings and more.

Meticulous execution of M&A transactions, from initial conception, discussions and letters of intent to due diligence, negotiations, definitive documentation, closing and post-closing integration, is essential.
