Mergers and Acquisitions Lawyers

Atlanta Mergers and Acquisitions LawyersAtlanta M & A Law Firm

We advise our clients in mergers, acquisitions, and related financial/loan transactions. Our M&A attorneys have experience working with clients through all stages of these transactions, from non-disclosure agreements and letters of intent to due diligence to negotiation, execution and closing of the acquisition agreements.

Our Atlanta M&A lawyers have experience counseling both strategic and financial buyers and sellers in various industries, including, without limitation:

  • Manufacturing
  • Technology
  • Healthcare
  • Distribution
  • Food products
  • Inks and coatings
  • Media
  • Advertising and marketing
  • Industrial gases
  • Software products
  • Medical devices

In addition to our representation of U.S. companies, we have also represented European and other non-U.S. based companies as they enter into or expand within the U.S. market via acquisition. Often the way a foreign entity enters the U.S. market is through the acquisition of an existing U.S. business. There are particular legal and cultural challenges to those acquisitions with which we are familiar.

We focus on the complexities and challenges of our clients’ changing business environments. We help our clients craft creative solutions to the evolving issues they face.

We advise clients in various legal aspects of business mergers and acquisitions, including:

  • Selecting the most advantageous structure (in consultation with the client’s tax counsel and CPA)
  • Reviewing due diligence materials
  • Negotiating non-disclosure agreements and letters of intent
  • Negotiating and preparing asset purchase, stock purchase, and merger agreements
  • Preparing ancillary agreements, such as
    • Employment agreements
    • Retainer/bonus agreements
    • Noncompetes
    • Escrow agreements
    • Indemnity agreements
    • Shareholders buy-sell agreements
    • LLC operating agreements
  • Identifying and complying with regulatory issues
  • Preparing seller’s disclosure schedules
  • Where necessary or appropriate, we involve specialists in legal fields, such as tax, securities, employee benefits, or regulatory areas, such as Medicare.
