Mergers & Acquisitions

Our client wanted to acquire a company which had pioneered a groundbreaking new digital signage technology, but during the due diligence phase, a third party filed suit claiming that an important part of the technology infringed its patent.
After the patent holder proved unwilling to grant a license to our client, we guided the client to a method of structuring the transaction in a way which effectively limited our client’s liability for any infringement ultimately proven, while guaranteeing that our client would have the benefit of using the parts of the technology which were essential to its business plans.  That solution allowed the acquisition to proceed to a successful conclusion.

Mandell Menkes attorneys regularly advise companies of all types on M&A transactions, including:

 

  • Restructurings

  • Private equity transactions
  • Leveraged buyouts

We understand that these types of transactions can be unfamiliar and extraordinary events for our clients.  Mandell Menkes appreciates the trust that its clients have placed in our attorneys to provide practical, cost-effective, and creative solutions to the structuring, due diligence, and negotiation of these complex corporate deals.
