Practice Areas
Mergers and Aquisitions
When it comes to buying, selling or investing in a business, our Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) attorneys have extensive experience representing companies and individuals in transactions ranging in value from millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. Our team has unique experience representing smaller and middle-market companies in their M&A transactions. Buyers and sellers rely on Hartman Simons to guide them through negotiating of a letter of intent, the due diligence process, creation of the best transaction structure, negotiation of key terms, preparation of documentation, and closing of the transaction. We work with clients’ accountants to determine the best transaction structure to maximize each transaction’s after-tax value.
Our team is result-oriented, efficient and extremely responsive to our clients. We understand our clients’ businesses, and we assist our clients in structuring, negotiating, and executing transactions in a diligent, pragmatic, and cost-efficient manner. Clients tell us that our approach results in greater value and improved results from what they have experienced elsewhere.
