Summary:

Attorneys from Schiff Hardin's Private Companies Group assisted Griffin Strategic Advisors, LLC, a comprehensive strategy and operations management consulting firm in Lake Forest, Illinois, in its acquisition by Acosta Sales and Marketing, based in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Private Companies Group quickly assembled a team of attorneys with deep experience in tax structures, credit strategies, employment issues and M&A negotiation to guide the client to a successful outcome.
