Expertise: Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures

We specialize in matters involving corporate control. Whether in mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, proxy solicitations or corporate accountability issues, our firm and our principals have been among the most active participants in this arena, often conceptualizing and leading major trends in the marketplace. We assist in developing strategy and executing on all facets of M&A transactions, from identification through negotiation and documentation of the deals, including proactive strategies targeting of companies that may not be “for sale.” Our principals have participated in numerous contests for corporate control, including ``toehold`` stock accumulations, tender offers, exchange offers, ``bear hugs`` and proxy contests. We have proven ability to identify and manage buyout opportunities.

Our clients include not only acquirers and active investors, but also organizations that secure our services in defense of unsolicited advances that offer inadequate value for shareholders. The latter group understands that we provide a unique insight to the strategies and tactics that an unsolicited suitor might apply. Please see a few of our successes below.
