Making Changes That Position You for Success
The attorneys of Goldberg, Meanix, McCallin & Muth in West Chester, Pennsylvania, represent businesses involved in mergers with other companies, acquisitions of businesses or their assets, and divestiture from existing ventures. We can guide and support you through every step of the process whether you are seeking to expand your business or sell all or part of your company. We focus on achieving your immediate goals and positioning you for future success.
Taking Advantage of the Right Opportunities
Our firm has decades of experience helping businesses take advantage of opportunities to expand or refine their operations. Our in-depth understanding of many specific industries complements our knowledge of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.
We have successfully completed deals for clients in a wide range of industries, including commercial real estate, restaurants and liquor licenses, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and high-tech.
Whether you are seeking to purchase or sell a small business or a complex operation with assets and employees in several states, you can rely on us to protect your interests and pursue the most positive possible outcome.
Careful Attention to All the Details
Our involvement in a business acquisition starts with examining the existing structure of both companies and performing preliminary due diligence. This involves examining the assets, including intellectual property, of the targeted entity and determining whether the deal will be a stock purchase agreement or asset purchase agreement. We also look at all other pertinent issues, including:
- Acquiring title to real property
- Employment agreements
- Regulatory compliance issues
- Licensing issues
- Financing
- Business valuation
- Tax issues
We will negotiate and prepare all the necessary agreements and perform final due diligence before the deal is finalized.
Making a Profit After the Deal Is Done
In mergers and acquisitions, our goal is not just to complete the deal, but to do so in a manner that allows you to make money with the new entity after the deal is complete. We provide the same objective scrutiny if your company needs to consider a divestiture involving existing assets that are under-performing or no longer serve the needs of your business.
As the former president of a biotech firm and secretary/treasurer of a pharmaceutical company, attorney Martin P. Manco knows first-hand the challenges of running a newly acquired company. His experience helps our entire legal team understand mergers, acquisitions and divestitures from a businessperson's point of view.
