Practice / M&A
Mergers & Acquisitions
We guide middle-market companies through complex transactions with the precision of large-firm deal teams and the agility of a boutique practice. From the first conversation about strategic options to the final closing wire, we run the deal so management can keep running the business.
What the work involves
Buy-side and sell-side representation
We represent acquirers, founders, and sponsors in stock and asset purchases, mergers, carve-outs, and recapitalizations—structuring the transaction, leading diligence, and negotiating the definitive agreements through signing and closing.
Diligence and risk allocation
We organize and direct legal due diligence, surface the issues that move price or structure, and translate findings into representations, indemnities, escrows, and closing conditions that hold up.
Deal documentation and execution
Letters of intent, purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, equity rollovers, employment and non-compete arrangements, and the full closing set—drafted and negotiated to commercial standards, without the BigLaw friction.
Post-closing matters
Earnout administration, purchase-price adjustments, transition services, and integration questions—we stay engaged after the deal is done.

How engagement & billing typically works
M&A engagements are typically scoped to the transaction — from LOI through closing and a defined post-closing tail — with a fee arrangement agreed at the outset. We will discuss hourly, capped, or milestone-based structures depending on the deal, and you will work with the attorneys actually running it.
The above describes the kinds of matters this practice handles generally; it is not a representation about any particular engagement or outcome. Every transaction is different — tell us about yours.
