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, including cash purchases, earn-outs, spinoffs and splitups, and a range of tax-favored reorganizations. Frequently we are asked to consult not only with respect to the technical legal aspects of a merger and acquisition 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 negotiating and closing the deal, our corporate attorneys have dealt with a variety of issues and have played a role in handling the following transactions:

fg's THIRD annual m&a conference recap - 1/19/23
For the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic, attendees gathered for Flaster Greenberg’s Mergers & Acquisitions Conference. This is the third conference of its kind hosted by FG, having held two large-scale M&A conferences prior to the pandemic. Nearly 150 business leaders from the South Jersey and Philadelphia regions met at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Cherry Hill, NJ on January 19th to hear about M&A trends, tax planning and business valuations, among other topics. The half-day program began with a networking breakfast, closed with a networking luncheon, and included three sessions offering continuing education credits at the core.
The conference attracted investment bankers, private equity firms, investors, M&A advisory firms, CPAs, CFOs, CEOs, business owners, managers and directors, and attorneys who sought value in making new connections and renewing old, as well as learning more about the evolving M&A landscape. The conference served as a platform to launch new deals and solidify business ventures.
