Mergers and Acquisitions
M&A—aligned with your business goals
Behind every M&A transaction there’s a business goal—a goal you’ve worked hard to develop, articulate, and advance. At Manatt our M&A group works to fully understand that goal, and only when we’ve grasped every dimension do we put together an M&A strategy fully aligned with it.
Once we know what you need to accomplish, we assemble a deal team that finds the path of least resistance. That team finds the opportunities, assesses the risks, and removes the obstacles. It brings the skill sets of seasoned attorneys from multiple practice areas. Our antitrust, environmental, real estate, IP, tax, labor and employment, and executive compensation practices are regularly represented on our more complex transactions.
Talent to spare
Our deal teams draw from a deep pool of standout talent—senior-level lawyers who manage your transaction from letter of intent through final closing. We combine Wall Street savvy with a nimble, service-oriented approach.
Our due diligence strategies focus on key value drivers that align with your business strategy
Our transaction structures are designed to be tax-efficient, while tailored to your market position
Our group advises and negotiates all aspects of the deal—from financing to regulatory approval and from operational concerns to closing and post-closing matters
Our attorneys liaise with regulatory agencies, including the SEC, FTC, and DOJ
Furthermore, our follow-through capabilities include rapid response times that help clients seize opportunities, especially when quick decisions and fast turnaround can mean the difference between success and failure.
