Mergers and Acquisitions

PDF

In 2023, there were more than 55,000 mergers and acquisitions worldwide. One of the primary reasons why M&A is essential in today's economy is that it allows companies to reduces costs while increasing production. Merging with or acquiring another company can result in cost savings and operational efficiencies that would not be possible for either company alone.

At Flaster Greenberg, whether our client is the buyer, the seller, a lender, a security-holder, an employee group, or another interested party, we apply our extensive experience and knowledge in a variety of merger and acquisition transactions to all our deals, including cash purchases, earn-outs, spinoffs and split-ups, and a range of tax-favored reorganizations.

Frequently we are asked to consult not only with respect to the technical legal aspects of a M&A transaction but also with respect to valuation and other business issues. Our extensive expertise in Federal and State taxation can be especially important in this highly complex area, where a seemingly nominal change in the structure of a transaction can have surprising and far-reaching tax consequences.

Understanding our client's business strategy is always a first step in finding legal solutions. Whether helping to choose and execute the right deal structure, or negotiate and close the deal, our corporate attorneys have dealt with a variety of issues and have played a role in handling a vast number of transactions.

Please review the list of some of our transactions to see the breadth of our knowledge across many industries and don’t hesitate to contact one of our attorneys in the menu listed below.
