We advise  clients in structuring, negotiating and completing domestic   and  international acquisitions and divestitures. We represent bidders,    targets, public and private operating companies, boards of directors,    committees of independent directors, private equity firms and    management buy-out groups in transactions. 
        
Understanding that each acquisition or divestiture is unique, we   begin  each assignment by working with clients to develop and implement    strategies designed to achieve client objectives.
