Mergers and Acquisitions

Bernstein Shur’s Mergers and Acquisitions Group represents bidders, targets, investors making financial acquisitions, founders of companies implementing exit strategies, financial advisers, and other parties in privately negotiated transfers of securities or assets, leveraged buyouts, joint ventures, public-company combinations, and takeovers. From planning to execution, Bernstein Shur attorneys assist in all aspects of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures.

The group’s attorneys have considerable experience in designing deal structures to help clients achieve their objectives. We represent both U.S. and non-U.S. companies and we have substantial experience in cross-border acquisitions and divestitures. Our attorneys also have extensive experience in acquisition financing, including traditional bank financing and all aspects of the private equity industry.

The Mergers and Acquisitions Group works closely with the firm’s Business Law, Business Restructuring and Insolvency, Tax, Finance, Intellectual Property, Technology, and Private Equity and Securities Practice Groups to provide clients with the service necessary to effect complex domestic and international transactions. Our primary mission is to anticipate our clients’ needs and to develop practical solutions to difficult deal issues.
