Morgan Lewis’s Mergers and Acquisitions Practice handles million- to multibillion-dollar transactions for a diverse, global clientele—sellers, buyers, and investors; investment and commercial banks; private equity and venture capital funds; institutional lenders; independent director committees; and management groups—in virtually every significant regulated and unregulated industry in the U.S. and abroad. We routinely negotiate purchases and divestitures by public and private companies, tender offers, restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs, leveraged buy-outs, and public-to-private transactions. The group also advises on structuring various takeover defense mechanisms for many of the firm’s corporate clients.

Our Mergers and Acquisitions team consists not only of business lawyers but attorneys who focus on other common, often industry-specific areas of legal concern in acquisitions and divestitures, including environmental issues; labor and employment or employee benefits and executive compensation matters; and government contracts, intellectual property rights, tax issues, and regulatory challenges. For our clients, the value of this coordinated approach lies in our ability to provide high-caliber, integrated legal advice covering all areas of concern.
