Mergers & Acquisitions

​​Our many complementary areas of experience — from securities regulatory matters, tax structuring, and competition law to our experience in addressing benefits, litigation, real estate, environmental, intellectual property, and information technology issues — ensure we are able to provide highly-effective recommendations that consider all the complexities of the situation. Our cross-border tax practice, along with our close working relationships with senior U.S. corporate counsel, provide us with an exceptional capability to quarterback cross-border transactions.

We have experience with all types of M&A transactions including cross-border transactions, public company acquisitions, private company acquisitions, reverse takeovers, hostile bids, “lossco” transactions, and corporate reorganizations.

Our experience ranges from privately negotiated transfers of shares or assets to large public company or trust mergers and acquisitions completed by way of take-over bids, amalgamations, and plans of arrangement.
