Mergers & Acquisition

Preliminary Negotiations and Due Diligence

Growth, divestitures, succession planning, reorganizations, new product development, market expansion, and bids from competitors are all examples of events that can create competing interests within and outside a business. Conroy Baran advises clients on possible courses to transition a company through these phases and takes an even-handed approach to balance their interests with the legal and strategic effects of each option. Mergers and acquisition can quickly become capital intensive, so proper planning is crucial before taking the next step in order to secure a quick and efficient transition. We work extensively with buyers, sellers, lenders, and managers to investigate and review target data leading up to the transaction.

We help you clarify and refine your objectives for growth and transition, while promoting a deal structure that fits with your needs.
