Mergers & Acquisitions

In the last several years, the firm has represented sellers and purchasers in 20 different transactions involving sales and purchases of ownership and/or assets totaling over $600,000,000.

Some of our most notable transactions in recent years:

In these recent transactions, the sellers often rolled equity forward, but in some instances they were straight sales.  Some of these transactions involved strategic buyers; some involved private equity groups.

The firm has advised its clients on numerous other transaction over the years.  Indeed, Jeff Travis has worked on mergers and acquisitions going all the way back to the mid-1980s.

In addition to the foregoing transactional experience, the firm has litigated numerous mergers and acquisitions that have gone bad. This firm has handled a $5,000,000 payout dispute arising out of an acquisition of a healthcare company. The firm handled a $30,000,000 lawsuit for large sums due on a payout from the sale of a breast implant company.  And the firm handled a multi-million dollar payout dispute for an oil field services company.  Indeed, it is the litigation experience of the firm in the area of mergers & acquisitions that has made it uniquely qualified to do the transactional work.  We know what is important and what is not when negotiating and drafting documents for mergers and transactions.
