When the time is right to grow your business through a corporate combination, or to sell your business, you need legal advisors that you trust – someone who knows you, your business and your industry.
Collaboration is key. The lawyers on Baker Donelson's mergers and acquisitions team work strategically both with companies new to mergers and acquisitions and with those experienced in doing deals. Our focus is always on nurturing collaboration with clients – understanding how you define success and working with you to achieve it through transactions which build or capture the value of your company.
We have advised clients in a wide variety of industries and sectors, and we bring that industry and sector knowledge to each transaction. In addition, we work hard to understand your position in your industry, the competitive pressures you face and what a successful transaction will look like for your company and your owners.
Nationwide and cross-border capabilities. Our team of more than 100 M&A lawyers advise clients on deals throughout the United States and globally.
All types of transactions. We advise publicly traded and privately held buyers and sellers on all types of transactions, including stock and asset acquisitions, ESG corporate transactions and due diligence, ESG sale preparation, mergers, going-private transactions, corporate spin-offs and joint ventures.
Strategic counsel. We recognize that many transactions require legal experience in a variety of areas as well as deep industry knowledge. Our lawyers have both. We have represented clients from a wide range of industries including technology, hospitality, franchising, financial services, energy, manufacturing, drug/biomedical, retail, aviation, gaming and transportation. We form teams of lawyers with all of the knowledge a deal requires, including knowledge of state and federal corporate law, tax, ERISA, securities law, labor and employment, ESG issues, environmental and intellectual property.
