Joint Ventures, Mergers and Acquisitions
Our joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions group has extensive experience with all types of investment, sale, merger, divestiture or asset, debt or equity transactions.
We work closely with our tax attorneys at the outset of each transaction to ensure that the transaction is structured in the most tax-efficient manner for our clients. Our attorneys are veterans of both sides of the negotiating table. As a result, we have accumulated invaluable experience and insights, becoming, in essence, our own best "adversary." Drawing on these skills, our attorneys help keep our clients one step ahead of the other side in negotiations.Our experience includes: leveraged buyouts, venture capital financing, equity and asset sales and transfers, and structuring, negotiating and consummating acquisition, sale and change of control transactions, both friendly and hostile.
