Mergers & Acquisitions

Most mature and successful staffing companies utilize mergers and acquisitions as valuable components of long-term growth and innovation strategies. Timing is almost always critical: opportunities can emerge and evaporate virtually overnight. We provide counsel critical for our staffing clients to capitalize and close on these major opportunities. In fact, over the course of the past several years, we have handled more transactions in the staffing industry than any other law firm. ​We provide counsel to buyers, sellers, investors, shareholder groups, boards of directors, and other interested parties in all aspects of complex business combinations and other forms of acquisition, combination, divestiture, and sale (including tax-free reorganization). We focus on the big picture by understanding and balancing our clients’ culture, needs, and vision. With this focus, we collaborate with our clients to create and maximize value during each phase of the transaction. Many times, our most important contribution occurs at the outset of the transaction when we assist our clients in analysis, structuring, and planning of the transaction. This initial planning serves to inform the subsequent negotiations, diligence, document preparation, and closing and post-closing matters.
