Practices

  • Banking & Finance

Our experienced mergers and acquisitions team offers industry-specific, pragmatic advice to both purchasers and sellers in a multitude of negotiated transactions—from asset purchases and equity acquisitions to joint ventures and strategic alliances.

Overview

Liskow’s Mergers & Acquisitions Practice coordinates and focuses the broad experience of our market-leading team members to negotiate, structure, and close our clients’ business combinations and divestitures in a prudent and efficient manner. We guide clients through each stage of a transaction, from the negotiation of a deal to its consummation, with a detailed, results-oriented approach to minimize deal risk and obtain a favorable outcome for the client.

Mergers and acquisitions require specialized legal expertise in corporate law, tax, antitrust, ERISA, environmental law, real estate, and employment law. Liskow’s business law team possesses a great wealth of knowledge that enables the firm to anticipate, identify, and resolve the legal and business issues that arise in complex corporate transactions. Our firm is retained and trusted by Fortune 500 public companies, private companies, family-owned businesses, and entrepreneurs across a wide variety of business industries that include renewable energy, oil and gas, petrochemicals, maritime, insurance, food distribution, healthcare, media, gaming, and hospitality.

A Collaborative Approach

Liskow’s professionals possess a wide variety of expertise and experience that renders the firm well-equipped to negotiate and construct business transactions to assess and meet the client’s needs. We advise our clients on all facets of a corporate transaction—tax structuring, benefits and employment, environmental, governance, intellectual property, and real estate. Our attorneys work as a team without regard to office location or practice group. With each transaction, Liskow compiles a team of professionals knowledgeable of the issues that will arise in attaining the client’s goals, from the deal’s negotiation to its culmination. As a full-service firm, we ensure that clients’ business needs are met and their questions answered.
