In today's ever increasingly complex business world, the practice of general corporate law requires well rounded, experienced and intelligent attorneys with a depth of knowledge across a multitude of legal fields. Our attorneys have years of training in a wide range of legal specialties, including contracts, commercial agreements, securities, tax, intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, real estate and corporate governance issues.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Our attorneys have advised clients on a full range of merger and acquisition transactions involving domestic and foreign business enterprises at all stages of development.

Our lawyers have played a significant role in planning and executing mergers and acquisitions, representing both buyers and sellers in merger and acquisition transactions for Fortune 500, as well as middle-market and small companies.

However, typically we advise on M&A transactions within the low nine figure range.
