Los Angeles Mergers and Acquisitions Lawyers
Since its inception, one of the firm's principal specialties has been in the area of mergers and acquisitions involving public and private companies, closely held family businesses and individuals. These services include the analysis, structure, negotiation, and preparation of documentation relating to the purchase, sale, merger, consolidation or recapitalization of operating businesses. The firm's tax, real estate, corporate, employment and securities departments work together to provide the expertise required in such transactions.
We have over the years represented public companies in merger and acquisition transactions. Activities in this area range from acquisitions and divestitures to complex mergers and leveraged buyouts. We have also been actively involved in private placements and related financings, including transactions with major commercial banks, insurance companies, venture capital firms and investment bankers throughout the country.
The firm regularly renders services in connection with the purchase and sale of privately owned businesses, or interests therein, as well as the preparation of agreements between and resolution of disputes among shareholders or partners. In addition, the firm counsels clients with respect to the restructuring of ownership or recapitalization arising from the need for additional investors or as a result of an investor's withdrawal or death.
Our Los Angeles lawyers have extensive background in the handling of matters in many diverse industries, including, but not limited to, restaurants, hotels, health care, waste management, entertainment, tobacco, alcohol and the garment industry. The firm has assisted these clients in these industries in a wide range of projects, including, but not limited to, the purchase or sale of a business or interest therein, syndications and financing, as well as the legal aspects of day-to-day operations.
