Mergers & Acquisitions

Overview

Corporate combinations take many forms — we can help you execute the transactions that achieve your strategic goals. In the past three years alone, we have successfully guided clients through approximately 750 mergers and acquisitions — as well as numerous joint ventures, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations and other types of transactions — from billion-dollar cross-border transactions to smaller, opportunistic deals. Our M&A experience spans a wide range of industries, including financial services, food and agribusiness, manufacturing, health and life sciences, retail, and technology, among others. And our collaborative, team approach seamlessly brings together attorneys focused on tax, antitrust, intellectual property, employment, executive compensation, real estate and other key areas to help you consider every aspect of your acquisition.

Stock and asset acquisitions
Divestitures
