Corporate/M&A

Our Illinois Corporate / M&A practice advises our clients on a wide range of acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, spin-offs and other corporate transactions. We are an acknowledged leader with respect to cross-border transactions, which has been a principal focus of our group and our Firm as a whole. Our corporate team works seamlessly with our global tax, employment, IP, real estate, regulatory, privacy and compliance groups and offers an integrated team of experts covering all stages of complex transactions.

For nearly 70 years, we have been guiding clients on both the buy-side and sell-side of complex multi-jurisdictional transactions. Over the past decade, we have successfully completed more cross-border transactions than any other law firm in the world. We are one of the few law firms capable of providing a specialized, inception-through-integration approach, through which we guide clients from strategy and structuring to a coordinated closing. We serve as a “one stop shop” for our multinational clients on all types of transactions. Not only do we offer a unique combination of local expertise with an experienced team of global deal lawyers, but we are fully integrated and truly know one another—the key to a seamless multi-jurisdictional transaction. We have invested in and refined our precedents and processes to drive efficiencies and provide the highest quality standards and deal practices, enabling us to execute deals with greater precision than our competitors.
