Mergers and Acquisitions

The mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practice group is an interdisciplinary group of senior professionals from many different areas of specialization, including tax, employee relations, environmental law, securities, antitrust, intellectual property, and real estate. We bring to bear the combined strengths of these attorneys to offer a full range of M&A transaction services with the depth, speed and expertise required in both negotiated and hostile mergers and acquisitions, whether private or public, domestic or international. Our clients include buyers, sellers, boards of directors, financial advisors and other participants in these transactions.

The transactions Mintz Levin has completed for these clients range in complexity from simple asset acquisitions or sales to more intricate deals such as acquisitions of public companies and going - private transactions, and from transactions including a single business location to transactions involving complex international business operations.

Hostile Takeovers

Should an acquisition be contested, Mintz Levin is prepared to respond with attorney teams including litigators, transactional attorneys and securities law specialists with experience handling hostile transactions for targets and acquirers.

The IP Advantage

Through the expertise of our intellectual property attorneys, we are able to provide accurate and full analysis of the intellectual property involved in a transaction and develop language for transaction documents that protects licenses, patents and trademarks.

Mergers and Acquisition Insurance

We draw upon the substantial experience of our Financial Risks practice attorneys in the use of transactional insurance in appropriate situations. These insurance tools protect clients from unanticipated losses arising subsequent to a transaction as a result of events or circumstances that are not disclosed or cannot be easily quantified prior to closing.
