Mergers + Acquisitions Advisory Services

Mergers and Acquisitions are vital avenues for the expansion and success of any business. From Fortune 100 companies to closely-held businesses, Anthony Law has extensive experience advising clients in business disposition transactions through stock sale transactions, asset sale transactions, mergers with similar businesses, acquisitions of minority interests, and restructuring or reorganizing capital structures to meet the needs of owners.

Deal Structure + Risk Mitigation

The structure of a disposition transaction can have a drastic effect on whether a buyer or seller is able to obtain their desired outcome. Often, parties to a transaction agree to terms even though they are uncertain of the tax consequences and the risks they will carry forward.

Anthony Law addresses the uncertainties of its clients and ensures favorable outcomes by assisting in commercial transactions from the idea stage through closing. This includes obtaining financing and regulatory approvals; performing due diligence requests or production; completing valuations; handling operational issues; understanding issues related to goodwill, tangible assets, and intangible assets; transaction structures; and post-closing transitions from one ownership group to another.

Our attorneys have experience in a broad range of legal disciplines, allowing us to analyze and mitigate risk from a variety of legal perspectives. These include potential employment, employee benefit and tort liabilities, intellectual property concerns, corporate governance concerns, environmental concerns, title issues involving real and personal property, potential tax liabilities, the risk of loss responsibilities, post-closing non-competition between parties, tax allocation considerations, and assessment of assumed and excluded liabilities.
