Our clients include private equity firms, portfolio companies of private equity firms, strategic companies (both public and private) as well as VC investors and individuals. We have handled transactions with deal values ranging from under $10 million to more than $2 billion across a variety of industry sectors, including technology, financial services, energy and natural resources, healthcare, life sciences, retail, telecom, transport and more. 

A hallmark of our M&A team is that we combine local one-on-one personalized client service with the turn-key capabilities of a full-service transatlantic law firm. We work with our clients to accomplish their M&A strategy in a customized manner that reflects their internal processes and business objectives. We offer sophisticated advice to structure and execute successful deals and are committed to protecting our clients’ best interests throughout the entire deal process.  

Our M&A attorneys work closely with other attorneys at the firm across a wide range of practice areas, including practitioners in intellectual property, tax, securities, finance, antitrust, real estate, government contracting, environmental, labor and employment, employee benefits and more, to provide a multi-disciplinary approach that meets the specific requirements of each transaction. In addition, our M&A team utilizes our GCSolutions division, which is comprised of highly qualified and experienced transactional lawyers, to create a more cost-effective, integrated team for transactions. Our M&A and GCSolutions teams also leverage a number of technology solutions to meet client needs, such as Kira (an artificial intelligence tool) and various other technologies that assist our integrated teams with contract review and other transactional support matters. Seamless coordination across these disciplines and firm resources allow us to provide additional value to our clients and meet their needs in a prompt, efficient manner.
