T&L represents buyers, sellers, strategic partners and investors in connection with a wide variety of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and partnering arrangements, divestitures and related financing transactions.  Our experience in this area is extremely broad and comprehensive, covering every significant aspect of a transaction including due diligence, negotiated and financed purchases and divestitures by public and private companies, tender offers, restructurings, spin-offs, and leveraged buy-outs. 

T&L routinely advises clients on structuring acquisitions, mergers and dispositions; we frequently assist in negotiations and prepare documents to close the respective transactions.  We work closely with a client’s other advisors to ensure that other transaction-driven critical issues are given due consideration (i.e. - tax law, environmental law, employee benefits, etc).  Utilizing practical business experience both as lawyers and entrepreneurs, our attorneys provide guidance at all stages of a transaction to ensure that the deal gets closed.

Whether selling a family owned business to a strategic acquirer or structuring a leveraged buyout of a public company, T&L is committed to adding value to each matter while providing the legal and business expertise necessary to consummate the transaction.
