Hellmuth & Johnson's Mergers & Acquisitions ("M&A") Practice Group serves the unique and diverse needs presented by our clients’ business transactions.  Specifically, we provide sophisticated and experienced legal and business counsel in a full range of business transactions, including:

• Stock and asset purchases and sales
• Mergers, spinoffs, splitoffs and other reorganizations
• Domestic and international joint ventures
• Intellectual property and technology licensing
• Acquisition financings

We have represented clients in a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and distribution to service, with a particular concentration in real estate and construction, healthcare, technology, printing and publishing, entertainment and hospitality.  Our clients include the full array of business organizations, from individual entrepreneurs and small businesses to multinational public companies.  We represent buyers and sellers, as well as lenders and other providers of financing.  Each and every client is given the personal care and attention they deserve, and no transaction is too small or too large for our seasoned attorneys to handle.

Our M&A team is intimately aware that, for many of our clients, a purchase or sale transaction is one of the most important events in their business lives. Accordingly, we remain zealously focused on achieving our clients' transactional objectives while consistently exceeding their expectations in each and every transaction.  The combination of our passion for excellence, and the inherent flexibility and efficiency of our expanding practice, makes us a contemporary alternative to the traditional “downtown” law firm model.  What does this mean for our clients?  The highest quality legal services delivered in a responsive, flexible and cost-effective manner by experienced professionals who understand your needs.

At Hellmuth & Johnson, each transaction receives the personal attention and supervision of our veteran partners, each of whom has more than twenty years of experience.  Collectively, our attorneys have represented clients in transactions involving billions of dollars.

What makes our M&A lawyers unique?  Members of our group have served not only in private practice, but also as in-house counsel.  We understand the sophisticated legal and business challenges each transaction presents.  We have first-hand experience, in both acquisitions and divestitures, as both outside counsel and inside counsel, for both the acquiring company and the target.  Additionally, several of our attorneys have developed complimentary business experience in other professional settings, including concentrated experience in select industries.  Collectively, this allows us to bring a unique depth and breadth of experience and perspective to our clients and their deals.

What makes our M&A practice unique?  Our firm is passionately committed to delivering the highest quality services with a level of efficiency and responsiveness that is unmatched by our competition.  Our M&A teams are assembled to include all necessary capabilities, and we efficiently manage any additional resources that a unique transaction may require.  The result for our clients is the highest quality services, delivered efficiently, responsively and always with a goal of adding value.
