Mergers and Acquisitions

Garvey Schubert Barer has long had an active M&A practice, both domestic and international, and across many industries from fishing and maritime, to clean technology, to services, to consumer goods. We take a team-oriented approach to M&A work, which frequently demands solutions across multiple legal areas, such as antitrust issues, bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, employee benefits, environmental policies, intellectual property, government relations, labor and employment, litigation, securities and tax. As a multipractice firm, Garvey Schubert Barer has experienced lawyers to provide the comprehensive services clients expect of their attorneys. However, as a lean, mid-sized firm, we coordinate these efforts more efficiently than some larger competitors, saving clients time and money.

We provide practical M&A advice, helping our clients consider legal matters as part of a larger business decision. Too often, attorneys jeopardize transactions with tangential legal issues that pose little risk to the client. We identify and quantify legal risks posed by a transaction, then let clients apply their business judgment and risk tolerance to make the ultimate decisions about the transaction.
