Mergers & Acquisitions

Blank Rome’s M&A attorneys represent strategic acquirers, targets, investment bankers, leverage buy-out groups, independent board committees, equity investors, lenders, and financial advisors in the purchase, sale and combination of business entities, both publicly and privately owned. Our attorneys take a business-minded approach to counseling clients on all phases of acquisitions, ranging from responding to acquisition offers, establishing special committees, and advising proxy contestants, to structuring acquisitions, making acquisition offers, and arranging public and private financing to fund the deal. They also use an integrated approach and draw upon the skills of other attorneys in the Firm with experience in securities, intellectual property, tax, real estate, international trade, ERISA, employment, and environmental law to provide seamless service. We also have extensive experience handling international business transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing agreements, distributorship and sales agency arrangements, and cross-border secured-financings.
