Mergers and Acquisitions
Our international M&A lawyers advise clients on a broad range of transactions, including negotiated purchases and divestitures by public and private companies, tender offers, leveraged buyouts and “going private” transactions. We are experienced in cross-border M&A transactions, representing multinational clients in stock and asset acquisitions and sales in the U.S. and elsewhere.
With M&A lawyers located throughout the U.S., Europe, China, and Japan, we are well positioned to assist clients with their global needs.
When structuring a business transaction, our corporate lawyers draw upon the breadth of the firm’s experience in antitrust, environmental, employee benefits, government contracts, intellectual property, labor and employment, tax, trade, and other regulatory matters. Our clients include sellers, buyers, investors, investment and commercial banks, venture capital firms, institutional lenders, independent director committees, and management groups that participate in such transactions.
International Joint Ventures/Strategic Alliances
Our lawyers have substantial experience representing multinational companies in the establishment of joint ventures and other strategic alliances. We work closely with lawyers in the Tax and Intellectual Property Practices to negotiate, draft, and advise on various types of agreements, including joint venture, license, technology transfer, development, distribution, supply, employment, and consulting agreements.
