Our global M&A team is able to do just that. With 700 M&A lawyers located in over 70 offices around the world, we act on hundreds of deals each year worth tens of billions of dollars and chances are, we’ve worked on a transaction like yours before.
Our focus is always on helping you add strategic value to your business. We assemble teams tailored to you and your deal, drawing on our bench of lawyers with deep sector knowledge around the world to plan for, and address, every possible scenario on your transaction. In today’s environment, and on cross-border deals in particular, you can expect to deal with a wide range of issues, and thoughtful consideration will need to be given to areas like structure, funding, people, real property, tax, and intellectual property, as well as to increasingly regulated areas like foreign direct investment, trade, competition and data.
We are well-positioned to help you navigate these issues and others that may arise. We can also help you achieve your objectives when strategic value is best realized through alternative transaction structures and arrangements, such as joint ventures. When it comes to deal execution, we are innovative, using cutting-edge project management and technology software to help you quickly process information and efficiently manage complex deals.
Our belief is that our global platform, deep sector knowledge, execution capability and commercial approach enable us to provide the highest quality service to you. We’ll always align with your strategic objectives and focus on helping you maximize value on every deal.
