Mergers & Acquisitions

General Description:
Mergers and acquisitions can serve as an important tool for an acquiring company to diversify its business and create new synergies, and can often provide an important "exit strategy" for the shareholders of a target company. Such transactions, however, raise a substantial number of critical questions that acquirers and target companies alike must contend with. Why is this particular company being acquired? What price should be paid? Should the form of consideration be cash, common stock, preferred stock, short or long term debt securities, warrants, or something else? Does the purchase price need to be adjusted post-closing? Should there be an earn-out? How should the transaction be structured?

Lindabury has extensive experience in representing both acquirers and targets in a wide range of acquisition arrangements, including tax free reorganizations, share exchanges, stock purchases, asset purchases, forward and reverse triangular mergers, spin-offs, recapitalizations, and tender offers. Our practice involves pre-acquisition planning and counseling concerning tactical considerations and compliance with the labyrinth of federal and state regulations that come into play in this area. Through the process from letters of intent, dealing with brokers and finders, corporate approvals, negotiating acquisition agreements, and conducting due diligence, we work to ensure that each acquisition is carefully designed to meet the unique goals of a client.
