Mergers and stock/asset acquisitions and privatization can be vital to a company's profitability and longevity. As a business matter the decision to engage in these kinds of transactions often makes sense, but the legal implications and requirements surrounding such transactions also must be considered carefully before any action is taken.

If your entity is considering a merger, acquisition, or privatization, we can help you evaluate your options and identify the best type of transaction to accomplish your goals. We also can help structure the transaction, making sure to account for the corporate law and tax consequences, and we can draft and negotiate the documentation necessary to effect the transaction.

We advised the company with respect to the various structuring options, drafted and negotiated the purchase agreement and all ancillary documents, conducted due diligence with respect to the company to be acquired, and advised the company on issues arising as the result of the due diligence. We also assisted the company in restructuring its bank loan to permit the acquisition to occur.

We advised the company as to the corporate structure that would best accomplish the company's goals and assisted the company in taking the legal steps necessary to achieve the corporate restructuring. We then drafted and negotiated the agreement, state approvals, concession, licenses and certain ancillary documents necessary to effect your activity. We also advised the company with respect to issues surrounding the securities that the company received in partial payment of the price.
