MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND CORPORATE FINANCE

When you need assistance in purchasing and selling a business or in the areas of corporate finance, public disclosure issues, corporate takeovers and other matters, Moss & Barnett's Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Finance group is ready to respond.

Our attorneys unite a comprehensive knowledge of the law with an intimate understanding of the client's business and objectives. They have worked on a wide range of situations, from the fast-growing company about to go public, to the company threatened with an unfriendly takeover. We understand the practical and legal issues involved in the private placement or public offering of securities and can assist and guide clients through the process.

Many of the companies our attorneys represent are entrepreneurial, family-owned operations. The owners are often in need of counsel about the legal ramifications of complying with securities laws or structuring major purchase or sale transactions. Our attorneys ease this process by focusing on the big picture, anticipating and avoiding potential problems, and guiding clients toward appropriate, beneficial decisions. In addition, we advise public companies on a range of matters, including compliance with securities filing obligations and corporate governance issues.

Our Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Finance group serves publicly and privately held corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities. However, no matter the size of your business, you can rely on developing a close working relationship with one key attorney contact who will stay well-informed of your situation and coordinate all your work. You will also have access to the broad expertise of other Moss & Barnett practice groups, assuring you of the finest legal representation.
