Business: Mergers and Acquisitions

Fox, O'Neill & Shannon, S.C.’s attorneys have represented clients in hundreds of mergers and acquisitions involving local and national businesses in many states. These transactions range from small business acquisitions and divestitures to acquisitions exceeding $100,000,000. They include acquisitions arising out of federal bankruptcy proceedings, and secured lender foreclosures.

FOS’s mergers and acquisition attorneys provide prompt, efficient and responsive services when an acquisition or divestiture issue arises. Their services cover all aspects of a merger or acquisition, including drafting letters of intent and final agreements, conducting due diligence analyses and oversight, supervising environmental and regulatory compliance, negotiating financing agreements, obtaining regulatory approvals, including under the Taft-Rodino Act, and reviewing tax issues.

An acquisition or divestiture, at any level, can be time consuming and confusing to a business client. FOS takes pride in simplifying the process and identifying, early on, the significant legal issues that will be involved in a particular transaction. The attorneys are mindful of establishing good working relationships with opposing counsel and their advisors, and otherwise facilitating a smooth and expeditious transaction. When important to our clients, the firm strives to maintain an ongoing relationship between the businesses involved.
