Critchfield possesses comprehensive experience for our clients who acquire, combine, sell, merge, or otherwise dispose of business assets and/or ownership interests. We have represented clients in business deals ranging from small and privately negotiated transfers of ownership interests or other business assets to creating joint ventures, forming strategic alliances with other businesses, to transactions requiring regulatory approval.
Our proficient attorneys effectively work for their clients at the negotiating table and boardroom. We have experience assisting companies from a number of industries, including banking and finance, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, nonprofit, healthcare, and more.
We utilize comprehensive counseling from the early planning stage through the closing of M&A transactions – including due diligence, structure, negotiation, and documentation – to deliver practical and functional advice, support, and assistance to our clients. We help our clients with financing arrangements, tax planning, securities law issues, and other compliance obligations.
