We advise on all phases of the transaction, from the letter of intent stage through due diligence and contract negotiations to closing. We regularly represent both buyers and sellers in a wide variety of transactions, so we are able to see deal issues from both sides of the table. Our clients include private equity firms, portfolio companies of private equity firms, strategic companies (both public and private) as well as VC investors and individuals. We have handled transactions with deal values ranging from under $10 million to more than $2 billion across a variety of industry sectors, including technology, financial services, energy and natural resources, healthcare, life sciences, retail, telecom, transport and more.
A hallmark of our M&A team is that we combine local one-on-one personalized client service with the turn-key capabilities of a full-service transatlantic law firm. We work with our clients to accomplish their M&A strategy in a customized manner that reflects their internal processes and business objectives. We offer sophisticated advice to structure and execute successful deals and are committed to protecting our clients’ best interests throughout the entire deal process.
Our M&A attorneys work closely with other attorneys at the firm across a wide range of practice areas, including practitioners in intellectual property, tax, securities, finance, antitrust, real estate, government contracting, environmental, labor and employment, employee benefits and more, to provide a multi-disciplinary approach that meets the specific requirements of each transaction.
