Mergers & Acquisitions
Representing both buyers and sellers, we guide business clients through every phase of a transaction, aligning finance, tax, employment, and intellectual property with the strategic objectives that make a deal worth doing.
The right deal isn't just about the numbers. It's about the plan behind them.
Every corporate transaction requires the right structure, careful risk analysis and forward planning to deliver value and convince the market of the transaction’s viability. The attorneys of Hill Wallack LLP work with our business clients to ensure that the finance, tax, employment and intellectual property requirements are aligned with the strategic objectives of the transaction.
Our clients have included numerous privately held companies, some of which are backed by venture capital investors. We represent both sellers and purchasers of businesses in these transactions.
We counsel clients on transaction structure and legal terms, assist in the negotiation of the transaction, prepare documents to effect the transaction and handle closings. In addition, we advise on issues involving laws relevant to the transaction.
An acquisition may require the formation of a new business entity. We counsel clients on all aspects of organizing a new company, including alternative business structures, issuance of stock or other equity to founders, buy-sell, voting or other agreements among owners and employment agreements and employee incentive arrangements.
