Litigation
Mergers & Acquisitions
We understand the importance of your exit strategy or taking advantage of unique opportunity through acquisition. In many instances, the short-lived process of buying or selling can impact a company and its investors' future for years to come. With an eye on the psychology of the deal and the business objectives driving the decisions, we are able to bring a wealth of experience to the negotiating table to mitigate risks and to contribute to your success. We have represented buyers and sellers in industries such as energy services, automotive, health care, technology, manufacturing, financial and professional services.
We work to contribute to your company's success by assisting our clients every step of the way. Whether it's creating a new business, negotiating license agreements, preparing contracts, terms and conditions, supply agreements, release agreements for a partner or employee, changing organizational structure, negotiating joint venture agreements or other strategic agreements, we bring experience from extensive transactions over the years to help contribute to your success.
