Mergers and acquisitions are the backbone of Lowenstein Sandler’s transactional practice. We advise on all aspects of these transactions, from analyzing offers to preparing documentation to closing deals. In the last few years alone, our M&A practice has consummated over one hundred transactions for public and private companies (on behalf of buyers and sellers) and financiers. Several group members are listed among The Best Lawyers in America and Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business in the mergers and acquisitions, corporate, and securities sections.
The M&A practice finds that our most important contributions in merger and acquisition transactions often occur at the analysis and preparation stages. Subsequently, we assist in negotiations, focusing on the big picture with a clear understanding of the company’s objectives, potential, and corporate culture. The breadth of Lowenstein Sandler’s practice allows us to take advantage of other specialized groups within the firm, to provide comprehensive service in M&A transactions:
- In conjunction with our nationally regarded bankruptcy practice, we successfully represent buyers, sellers, and “stalking horses” in M&A through, or as an alternative to, bankruptcy.
- Our securities lawyers advise on sophisticated M&A transactions for public and private companies; the securities strength of our M&A group makes us unique among area firms.
- Our tax attorneys ensure the tax-efficient structure of the transactions we undertake.
- Collaboration with our top-tier environmental group allows us to successfully complete M&A transactions in which there are environmental issues.
Our M&A practice guides clients in merger and acquisition transactions that are not “expansion for expansion’s sake” or substitutes for innovation—but rather key pieces in smart growth and innovation strategies.
