FAQ
Do I need a business lawyer for mergers and acquisitions?
In a word, yes.
Transactions between both private and public companies are regulated by state and federal agencies, with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ensuring compliance with antitrust and fair compensation laws and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) overseeing proper valuation and legal adherence for asset and stock transfers.
Business law attorneys are essential not only for helping you understand these regulatory complexities but also for facilitating intense negotiations and handling the extensive legal documentation involved in transferring business assets and liabilities.
Do you offer post-transaction support and integration services in NYC?
Absolutely. Our commitment to your success extends beyond the closure of the deal itself. We offer general counsel services to ensure ongoing legal support and guidance in the aftermath of an integration. We can also help you resolve any legal challenges that may arise along the way.
What is a merger, and how does it differ from an acquisition?
A merger is a combination of two or more companies into a single entity where the merging companies become one new company. An acquisition, on the other hand, involves one company (the acquiring company) purchasing another (the target company), with the target typically ceasing to exist as an independent entity.
Why do companies pursue mergers and acquisitions?
Companies may enact mergers and acquisitions for various reasons, including achieving growth, entering new markets, gaining access to new technology, increasing market share, realizing cost synergies, diversifying their products or services, and enhancing competitiveness.
What is due diligence in M&A?
The term "due diligence" refers to a comprehensive investigation and analysis of the target company's financial, legal, operational, and cultural aspects. It helps the acquiring company assess the risks and benefits of the transaction and ensures that its leaders have a clear understanding of what they're getting.
What are the types of acquisitions?
Acquisitions can take various forms, depending on the nature of the transaction and the structure of the deal. There are two common types of acquisitions: asset purchases and stock purchases.
In an asset purchase, the acquiring company buys specific assets or business divisions belonging to the target company, such as equipment, real estate, intellectual property, or customer contracts. Liabilities typically don't transfer in this type of acquisition unless explicitly agreed upon.
In a stock purchase, the acquiring company purchases the target company's shares or stocks, acquiring ownership and control of the entire business, including its assets, liabilities, and obligations.
