About

Provided by Much Shelist, P.C.

Private Equity

Much helps private equity funds, venture capital funds, independent sponsors, institutional investors, and privately held businesses capitalize on new opportunities. The firm routinely represents clients on both sides of the deal and understands the needs of both. Our attorneys frequently work with private equity funds to acquire portfolio companies, consummate add-on acquisitions, handle day-to-day legal work for portfolio companies, and eventually sell these companies.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Successful mergers and acquisitions require coordinated support from a law firm with broad resources, extensive business experience, and a full-service team of creative, highly responsive professionals. Much attorneys work hard to ensure that each transaction is appropriately and effectively staffed, including hands-on leadership from our most senior and experienced attorneys.
