M & A and Strategic Alliances

When a company wants to merge with or acquire another company, sell or acquire assets, divest, or restructure, it faces a set of complex transactions with many crucial issues and decisions in an environment where both the law and the marketplace are frequently changing. At Mitts Milavec, our attorneys understand the complex issues surrounding these commercial transactions and are experienced in developing and implementing creative strategies to maximize value and position our clients for success.

We advise buyers, sellers, lenders, investors, management groups, financial advisors, and intermediaries ranging from early-stage to mature companies and privately held companies to public companies, including businesses that operate in highly regulated industries. We assist our clients with strategy, negotiations, and documentation for mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, leveraged buyouts, divestitures, going-private transactions, strategic alliances, collaborations, and joint ventures. At Mitts Milavec, our attorneys understand our clients’ businesses and their goals, needs, and concerns; we stay in close contact with our clients and manage their projects for an efficient use of resources and to achieve business success.

Many of our clients are healthcare and technology enterprises that enter into technology licensing agreements, joint ventures, and other strategic partnerships. Our structuring of these arrangements often requires creative solutions for integrating business, operations, technology, and intellectual property protection, while promoting the client’s business strategy and core competencies.
