About

Provided by Adams & Reese

Adams and Reese M&A and corporate finance attorneys steer clients of various sizes through all the steps of a merger, acquisition, financing or any corporate law matters, and we are recognized for our strength in serving regional and national middle-market companies.


While we zero in on the transaction at hand, we also take a global approach, looking at the ramifications it will have in the long term and advising our clients on the specific issues that may surface a year or five years down the road. We hand pick the right team of lawyers across the firm with inside-the-industry knowledge. 


If the corporate matter involves the manufacturing sector, for instance, we will enlist our Memphis partners. For healthcare transactions, clients benefit from working with our lawyers in Columbia, South Carolina. For technology based transactions we look to our Atlanta office. And for energy and maritime transactions, we turn to our Mobile and Houston offices. If the deal contains particularly complicated issues regulated by the Commerce department, we have people in Birmingham, Alabama and Washington D.C. who can unravel the complexities. These are just a few examples of our broad range of industry knowledge, experience and resources.
