Our Merger and Acquisition services include the representation of directors, special committees, shareholders, and managers considering or confronted with potential corporate mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, buyouts and other similar types of corporate transactions.

Sale Mandate
In sale mandates, we assist in establishing client goals; valuing the business entity; preparing a sales memorandum describing the business; identifying, researching, and selecting qualified buyers; structuring and negotiating the transaction; anticipating obstacles and resolving issues so that transactions proceed smoothly; reviewing documents and working with attorneys and accountants through final closing of the transaction.

Acquisition Mandate
In acquisition mandates, we develop acquisition criteria with the client, survey the marketplace, identify and initiate contact with suitable and approved candidates, negotiate transaction terms and conditions, and oversee the transaction through closing, as required by the client. For tender offers, we help our clients develop acquisition strategies and also assist our client in defending against either unfriendly or unsolicited takeover attempts or activity.

Valuations
We offer extensive experience in providing valuations of both public and private entities. Such valuations have been used for estate planning, minority interest transactions, pre-merger/acquisition planning, FASB 141/142 (Goodwill) analysis and a wide range of other corporate and personal uses.
