Mergers and Acquisitions
Selling a business can be an emotional time for the founders of the company. The Spencer Law Firm knows how to navigate sales and mergers with grace and skill.
The Spencer Law Firm is regularly involved in merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions in the U.S., sometimes involving foreign purchasers, handling a merger of two public companies and many smaller company sales and purchases. We have a niche in companies with a sale value of $150M and less. We have also advised clients in M&A transactions ranging in size from small transactions to those valued at over $1 billion.
​
​Due to the firm’s long-standing position as principal legal counsel to many of the above companies, we have played a major role in the sale of our client’s life’s work. We have negotiated sales contracts with the largest law firms in New York, Singapore and Hong Kong on the sale of various client companies and are adept in virtually every industry sector, including:

We give no-nonsense advice and have the experience to protect our client’s life time investment in building up their business.
Since the early 1980s, we have been active in representing both sellers and buyers. Additionally, we represent our clients who may or may not have representatives from investment banking firms acting as financial advisors and frequently work with company lenders, accountants and other advisers to develop the best price, the best terms and the best outcome for our seller clients. We also advise companies, private equity investors and special committees of the boards of directors in restructurings, recapitalizations, developing joint ventures and strategic alliances, and pursuing new business partners or investors for expansion.​
