About

Provided by Foley Hoag LLP

Foley Hoag’s team of experienced M&A lawyers provides comprehensive, expert legal and strategic advice. We represent buyers and sellers, as well as private equity and other deal sponsors, in transactions of all sizes. We advise on deals involving all industries, and we particularly excel in complex acquisitions and divestitures of technology and life science companies and assets.

We tailor our transaction services to suit our clients’ needs and objectives, beginning with right-sizing the deal team. Responsiveness and efficiency in our approach to client service is a core tenet of the firm. Every M&A client and transaction is important and receives high quality service and attention, regardless of deal size.

Our lawyers are skilled deal makers, in part because of our experience advising business clients on a day-to-day basis. Clients tell us that we add particular value to the deal because we understand their business, the markets in which they compete and how the transaction fits into their larger business goals. This enables us to provide more thoughtful, customized and complete advice on terms and conditions, mechanics and structuring.

We have close relationships with leading law firms around the world, enabling us to assemble an integrated team of lawyers with the right experience in each jurisdiction for any cross-border M&A transaction.
