We provide in-depth advice to acquirers and targets in private merger and acquisition transactions, and with respect to strategic alliances, corporate partnering and joint ventures. Our lawyers have extensive expertise in the drafting and negotiating of a variety of documents and agreements related to the merger and acquisition process, such as letters of intent, confidentiality agreements, proxy statements, information statements and tender offer documents, consulting and non-competition agreements, employment agreements and severance plans.
