Having performed hundreds of M&A transactions, we can see the forest for the trees, and are able to identify and solve obstacles and issues proactively, working closely with our clients each step of the way. Our team understands the importance of building our client relationships, and we view them as much more than just transactional—they are investments—both professionally and personally.

Our national Mergers & Acquisitions group, consisting of more than 50 attorneys, has built a solid reputation as a leader in Middle-Market M&A. We represent strategic buyers and sellers, private equity groups and their portfolio companies, entrepreneurs, family offices, founder- and family-owned businesses, boards of directors and their special committees and financial advisors. Our team is especially experienced in the healthcare, financial services, telecommunications, retail, technology and real estate industries.

In the last few years our team has handled dozens of M&A transactions with values ranging up to $5 billion.
