Mergers and Acquisitions
RK&O has a wide range of experience representing buyers and sellers in domestic and cross-border merger & acquisition transactions. Our experience includes acquisitions and dispositions of both public and private companies as well as representing buyers and sellers in LBO, management buyout and other going-private transactions. Our clients include some of the largest hedge funds and investment banks, but we also represent companies, management teams, private equity funds and other financial institutions and investors. We also advise boards of directors and special committees of the board of target companies in considering competing strategic alternatives.
Our representations include companies that span a number of different business sectors, including aviation, automotive, communications, energy, financial services, gaming, insurance, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, real estate and technology.
In structuring transactions, we work closely with other specialist teams within the Firm to address not only pricing and risk allocation issues, but also tax, securities and other regulatory issues that arise in both domestic and cross-border scenarios.
We also have expertise, working in conjunction with our restructuring and bankruptcy team, in acquiring companies out of bankruptcy as well as representing clients either as the “stalking horse” in the bankruptcy auction process or as a bidder in the auction.
We give high level technical advice which, coupled with creative solutions and commercial common sense, provides our clients with complete support in their M&A activities.
