    Areas of Focus

    We represent acquiring and target companies and investment banks in connection with public takeovers, private acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations, divestitures, and joint ventures.

    Working closely with our clients, we deliver value throughout each phase of a transaction—planning and strategy, structure and objectives, due diligence, drafting and negotiation, execution and closing, and integration and transfer.

    As a full-service, international law firm, we have established a successful track record of representing clients in cross-border transactions and assisting them in expanding their operations to the United States, Europe, and other key global markets. We have advised clients on a broad scope of cross-border strategic investments, acquisitions, and joint ventures and helped clients navigate complex cross-border transactional issues.

    We have extensive experience working with directors, shareholders, and management of private and public companies on a wide range of transactions involving the sale of a minority or controlling interests, including carve-outs, spinoffs, asset and stock sales, and other strategic transactions.

    We help prepare companies and work with investment bankers in all aspects of the auction and sale process. Years of experience representing public and private sellers, and financial and strategic buyers, enables us to bring the broadest market perspective to any sale transaction.
