Our lawyers have successfully navigated billions of dollars of domestic and cross-border transactions in myriad industries.

• Leveraged acquisitions and divestitures for private equity funds, venture capital funds, and independent and other equity sponsors.

• Strategic mergers and acquisitions for private and public companies.

• Public company “merger of equal” transactions.
