Understanding the business of our client and the buyer or target allows us to efficiently and effectively facilitate the acquisition or sale process for our clients.  Having represented buyers, sellers and financial institutions financing acquisition transactions, we are sensitive to the needs of all parties to the transaction and what must be accomplished to effectively close an M&A transaction.

In acquisitions, we understand our clients' business strategy and acquisition objectives; we focus on the issues of strategic importance to our client and strive to make the acquisition process part of the integration of the target into our client's business.

In representing a seller, our knowledge of the seller's business allows effective interaction with the buyer and its advisors.  We focus on the strengths of our client and strategic fit.  At the same time, we endeavor to minimize the tax and other practical risks of a transaction, including appropriate allocation of environmental and product liability risks.
