Detailed South Carolina business advocate understands mergers and acquisitions

With a merger, two separate companies combine to form a new enterprise. The two original companies cease to exist as separate businesses and instead continue to run as a single entity. This process is also known as consolidation. Our Firm will assist you through a smooth merger and then advise you on how to function as one business.

An acquisition occurs when one company purchases another. The acquiring company takes over the assets of the target company. Also known as a takeover, an acquisition can either be private or public, depending on whether the target company has publicly traded stocks. Whether your acquisition is friendly or hostile, we can help ensure that it is successful.

Skilled adviser provides comprehensive counsel for a smooth transition

The purpose of a merger or an acquisition is to strengthen the company while continuing to provide value. It is imperative to your company's success that this deal is fully developed, covering every aspect to protect your business.
