The Michael Best M&A team has substantial experience advising on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, asset purchases, joint ventures, and reorganizations of companies in virtually all industries, on both the buy-side and sell-side.
We structure, negotiate, and close transactions for a diverse array of clients, ranging from individuals to financial institutions and publicly held companies. We have experience representing buyers and sellers, as well as management teams and minority owners. In addition to traditional merger, asset, and stock purchase transactions, we advise on completing recapitalizations, management and non-management leveraged buyouts, spin-offs, reorganizations, and other complex restructurings. Whether you are a business founder navigating a sale of your company for the first time or an experienced company or sponsor with sophisticated capabilities looking to evolve through M&A transactions, our team is well suited to advise.
Our team works closely with each client’s transaction team to develop a thorough understanding of business objectives, communication styles, and corporate culture. This focus enables us to improve efficiency in due diligence, negotiations, and closing, especially when advising on multiple acquisitions for the same client.
We also work closely with our colleagues in other Michael Best practice groups, such as Tax, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation, Privacy & Cybersecurity, Regulatory, Labor & Employment Relations, Real Estate, and Intellectual Property, to cover all aspects of the transaction.
