Practical Business Solutions for Business Owners
At Clifferd Chance we have significant experience handling corporate mergers and sales issues for businesses throughout the United States. Whether our client is the larger or smaller entity in a corporate merger, we have the ability to protect their future interests.
Our corporate merger clients include companies reaching out to absorb a smaller company, as wells as smaller companies being absorbed by larger corporations. The primary reason for a corporate merger is that the companies have specific technologies, software, or products that compliment one another’s business.
Our primary role in corporate mergers is to draft, review, and evaluate the contracts related to the merger. In addition, we work closely with our clients to protect their interests by enforcing non-compete agreements, addressing owner retention issues, and negotiate for the protection of owners of the smaller company.
Corporate mergers are a unique part of our business. We recognize that whether we are helping our clients expand a business or merging a business, they have spent years building a company, it is a stressful time. Many decisions need to be made regarding employment matters, retention of company officers, rights to proprietary information, asset valuation, and how to package assets. Our New York Corporate Merger attorney works closely with our clients to ensure they are comfortable with and understand the merger process, the contracts that spell out the owner’s position in the merged company, and their rights, responsibilities, and obligation to the new corporate entity.
