MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Businesses considering a merger or acquisition face a host of complex legal and business issues. Multiple factors can impact the success of the transaction, sometimes even causing the deal to fall apart. Slovak Baron & Empey LLP has handled hundreds of M&A transactions in virtually every industry. We have represented large and small clients on both sides of the transaction and understand the intricacies involved in bringing companies together or buying a new business. With each new transaction we put together a multidisciplinary team of attorneys and support staff that is able to quickly and cost-effectively identify and address the critical issues that must be navigated to successfully complete the transaction. The firm's advice covers all facets of acquisitive transactions, including corporate control issues (including dealing with poison pills), due diligence, intellectual property evaluation, tax consequences and structuring, employee relations/affairs, environmental matters, creditor's rights, and government compliance, including all federal and state securities regulations and antitrust filings, public affairs and certain political considerations.
