• Mergers and Acquisitions
  General.  Our attorneys have represented buyers, sellers, advisors and other principals in mergers and acquisition transactions of all sizes, ranging from the hundreds of thousands to the several billion dollars.  Prior to joining the firm, all of our attorneys practiced at the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, long recognized as a world leader in the area of mergers and acquisitions.  Accordingly, our team brings a wealth of training and expertise to clients seeking sophisticated counseling, often for equally challenging albeit smaller transactions, with a view to maximizing value, minimizing exposure and quickly closing transactions.   In addition to understanding the various legal issues relating to an acquisition, we bring judgment – knowing when to push or accommodate; how to time resolution of key issues; understanding what matters and what doesn’t; and positioning our client to ensure a successful transaction.  In doing so, we seek to ensure that key issues are appropriately addressed while expediting deal resolution and thereby controlling costs in a manner that may be more difficult to accomplish in a larger firm, particularly with respect to a smaller or mid-size transaction.
• Business Transactions
  We were founded on the premise that business transactions require aggressive advocacy, but that running a successful business necessitates cooperation and compromise.  Our goal is to aggressively represent clients in the spirit of mutual cooperation and trust, recognizing that these principles expedite transaction resolution, limit expense and foster success.
