Mergers & Acquisitions
Getting deals done. It’s not always as easy as it sounds. It takes experienced counsel who not only understands the situation at hand, but can anticipate what lies ahead. Williams Mullen attorneys have extensive experience in the area of mergers and acquisitions having represented public and private companies in a large number of transactions. Our transactions have varied from a few million dollars to more than two billion in size and have included negotiated purchases and divestitures by public and private companies, tender offers, restructurings, spin-offs, leveraged buy-outs, and "going-private" transactions. We have represented acquirers ranging from typical corporations to venture capital funds, private equity investors, hedge funds and investment banks. As a result of our participation in this wide variety of transactions for acquirers whose investment criteria differs markedly, our attorneys have gained valuable experience and insight into new structures and methods for approaching mergers and acquisitions.
