Services Available

Each year, our Corporate Practice Group handles mergers and acquisitions involving, in the aggregate, billions of dollars. The firm's mergers and acquisitions practice is frequently mentioned in rankings of various nationally recognized independent sources, such as The American Lawyer's Corporate Scorecard. Our mergers and acquisitions practice encompasses essentially every form of corporate transaction, including mergers, purchases and sales of assets, purchase and sales of securities, and change of control events such as tender offers and proxy contests. Transactions are both domestic and cross-border. We represent purchasers, sellers, lenders and financial advisors. One of the great strengths of Fulbright's mergers and acquisitions practice is the ability to bring a multi-disciplinary approach to these transactions by covering antitrust, taxes, real estate, environmental, corporate, employee benefits, labor, and financing expertise, not only at the due diligence stage, but also the agreement and closing stages of these transactions. Our specialized expertise in regulated industries such as energy and healthcare only serves to expedite these transactions.
