Mergers and Acquisitions

Schiff Hardin regularly represents private companies in their acquisitions of other businesses or enterprises, whether through mergers, stock or asset acquisitions or other combinations (including auctions), or in ownership transitions through the selling of their stock, assets or other ownership interests. Our attorneys working on these transactions also have extensive expertise in public company acquisitions, private equity transactions, and financing deals. This depth and breadth of experience enables us to provide our private company clients with sure-handed advice throughout all stages of the transaction, no matter its size or nature.

We also assist in the preparation and negotiation of stockholder agreements, employment agreements, and other incentive compensation arrangements that may be a component of the transaction. We are equipped to provide whatever services are needed to close the deal — from managing all legal aspects of a transaction from conception to completion, to advising on legal compliance, tax and other issues.
