Our M&A attorneys have the know-how and experience to negotiate favorable deals in a timely manner. We don’t just get deals done; we look out for your best interests in the near and long term.
We negotiate deals in good faith, creatively and patiently work through impasses, while staunchly advocating for our clients. Through the negotiations and due diligence phase, we identify risks and opportunities. We remain vigilant about mitigating your risks and potential liabilities inherent in the deal. Throughout the process, our goal is to close deals on favorable terms, while mitigating client risks and leaving options on the table to pursue remedies when those terms have not been met by the other parties.
We work closely with our tax attorneys to ensure to minimize the income tax impact on the transaction. Where appropriate, we include our trusts and estates attorneys to ensure that the transaction is incorporated into a client’s overall estate plan.
