About

Provided by Thompson Hine LLP

Our M&A professionals assist clients, including public and private companies, private equity firms, and other investors, whether through acquisitions to support growth, or divestitures to align operations with core competencies, in transactions ranging from less than $10 million to more than $1 billion. We use a team-oriented approach to M&A transactions to ensure that our clients receive in-depth technical advice from experienced lawyers. We also work with our established network of leading local firms in other countries to seamlessly handle all aspects of cross-border transactions.

Whether representing buyers or sellers, we strive to provide cost-effective, business-oriented advice designed to help maximize value for our clients. For sellers, we focus on realizing full transaction value while minimizing post-closing risk. For buyers, we provide thorough and efficient business-oriented due diligence, focused on identifying “deal-killers” to confirm value and minimize post-closing surprises, and assist with the negotiation of acquisition agreements that are consistent with our client's objectives.
