Mergers & Acquisitions

We are routinely involved with transactions that range in excess of $100 million to much smaller transactions with proceeds below $10 million. See the list of Representative Transactions below where we have acted as lead M&A transaction counsel for our clients. 

We start every matter with a focused mindset of getting a deal done, rather than only seeing the obstacles. This requires us to be both creative and practical in our approach. Our lawyers are experienced negotiators who are in the market every day closing sophisticated transactions. Our advice is grounded in a deep understanding of the market and how deal terms will affect short- and long-term risk and economics.

We work with our clients on an intense, personal basis without having to field a large and costly team of lawyers on a project. Because all of our lawyers are trained with a core expertise in venture capital and mergers and acquisitions, we are able to function as legal quarterbacks to effectively represent our clients’ interests and get their deals closed quickly and efficiently. As a firm, we have an open architecture that allows us to bring in the best experts in specialized areas such as tax and regulatory matters without slowing down the process of getting deals done in an efficient manner. Unlike larger firms, our small, boutique focus allows us to partner with the best experts suitable for a particular deal.

Our years of practice and experience have enabled us to work with U.S. and international clients in a broad range of business activity that includes:

• Adtech
• E-commerce
• Enterprise software
• Healthcare services and information technology
• Manufacturing
• New media content, distribution and service companies
• SaaS
• Specialty retail
• Telecommunications technology and services

Our small team, boutique approach provides you with the right advice and excellent work product, but in a personal, efficient and very responsive way.
