About

Provided by Smith, Anderson, Blount, Dorsett, Mitchell & Jernigan, LLP

As one of the foremost corporate law firms in North Carolina, we have a deep roster of accomplished mergers and acquisitions lawyers, with approximately half having come from national and international firms. But we offer far more than technical expertise executing deals; we are distinguished in the value we add through our informed judgment, strategic insight, innovation, creativity and complete commitment to your business success.

The complexity of the issues involved in corporate transactions, and the significant outcomes hanging in the balance, require not only deep knowledge of the law, but also the sophistication to use that knowledge creatively to negotiate solutions that make the most practical business sense. We configure our teams to best suit your needs and are well-equipped to manage such diverse matters as private and public acquisitions of all sizes, leveraged buy-outs, divestitures, joint ventures, strategic alliances, licensing and defensive planning. We guide a wide range of clients at different stages in the business cycle with make-it-or-break-it mergers including start-ups, growing mid-size companies and large corporations. 

The Mergers and Acquisitions practice is more than 30-lawyers strong, enabling us to staff each deal with individuals who are hand-picked for the situation. Also on our team are former C-level executives and in-house counsel who add to our perspective and breadth of experience.
