Mergers & Acquisitions

Our attorneys have been involved in many merger and acquisition transactions, both large and complex and small and straightforward. We are experienced in all forms of mergers and acquisitions, including stock, cash, leveraged buyout and asset transactions.

Our corporate attorneys also work closely with our tax and litigation attorneys on M&A matters. Recurring issues upon which we have advised include tax free treatment of consideration received, treatment of outstanding options and other employee equity interests, analysis of parachute tax issues, short-swing trading restrictions and other issues under the federal securities laws, and disposition of ERISA plan assets.

Examples of merger and acquisition transactions on which we have worked include negotiating and preparing documentation for the BondDesk acquisition of TIPS, Inc. and MuniGroup LLC., the LBO of Goldsmith Incorporated, the consummation of Masonicare Corporation’s acquisition of the stock of OMNI Home Health Services, Inc., the merger of Faro Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sage BioPharma, Inc. and the divestiture of several divisions of the Balson Group Inc.
