Mergers & Acquisitions by Chicago Area Law Firm
Mergers & Acquisitions are complex transactions that require the foresight and steady hand of an experienced and knowledgeable law firm partner. KSN attorneys bring a wealth of practical experience, a collaborative approach, and fresh, innovative thinking to your transaction – without high costs.
Sellers
We help potential sellers explore the full range of available options, including recapitalization, strategic partnership, or sale. We assist with business valuation, looking at the business from every perspective in order to understand its real value. If a merger or acquisition is decided to be the best course of action, we will work with you to attain the desired outcome.
Buyers
We collaborate with buyers to clarify needs and goals for potential transactions, to understand the future impact of the transactions – including legal and tax ramifications – and to lead the transaction all the way through successful closing and beyond.
Our mergers & acquisitions services include:
- Complex transactions involving distressed assets, workouts and restructuring
- Resolving business succession and tax issues relating to mergers and acquisitions
- Business Valuation
- Deal Structure
- Negotiation
- Financing
- Due Diligence
- Preparation and finalization of Asset Purchase agreements
- Representation through Closing
- Resolution of Post-Closing issues
Beyond the Closing
We have completed enough mergers & acquisitions to know that deals require close attention even after closing. We continue to work with you post-closing to anticipate and resolve outstanding issues that would otherwise threaten to complicate or even undo the transaction.
Our Collaborative Approach
To complete a successful merger or acquisition, you’ll need a team that brings the right skills and insight to bear on all the challenges at hand. We are experienced working as part of a larger professional team that may include consultants, accountants, bankers, investors and other third parties. If need be, we can even assemble the right team from within our own professional networks.
Whatever stage of the merger or acquisition process you may be in, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs. Please complete the contact form to the left.
