What are Mergers & Acquisitions?
Selling, buying, or merging a business are important transactions that generally result in two separate businesses merging into one.
Mergers and Acquisitions is a significant and complicated area of business law. There are many different types of M&A transactions, and you might have heard of terms such as leveraged buy-outs,
management buy-outs, reverse takeovers, and hostile takeovers.
For large private or public companies, M&A transactions might include joint ventures and strategic alliances, private equity groups or funds, special committees and boards of directors. While
M&A deals for smaller, privately-owned businesses are typically less complex, such transactions can still have large implications for everyone involved in the business, from the owners and
managers to employees and even customers.
Due to the potential implications of an M&A deal, it can be beneficial to involve a lawyer right from the start. Even when you are just thinking about a potential opportunity for a merger or
acquisition, there might be certain legal preparations that can make sure you prevent issues and conflicts down the road.
