Practice Areas & Industries: Lawson Lundell LLP

Practice/Industry Group Overview

The successful acquisition or sale of a business requires experienced, industry-specific legal analysis and execution. Our mergers and acquisitions lawyers act for strategic and financial investors, pension plans, investment bankers, private equity firms, boards of directors, special committees, management groups and lenders in all forms of domestic and international acquisitions involving both publicly-traded and privately held enterprises. We frequently advise publicly-traded companies and their boards of directors when they are the subject of unsolicited bids.

Our mergers and acquisitions team draws upon the industry-specific knowledge and experience of lawyers in those specialized areas of law that are fundamental to a successful transaction, including tax, competition/antitrust, securities/regulatory, litigation, pensions, employment/executive compensation, intellectual property and environmental matters.
