Our USA Corporate / M&A practice advises our clients on a wide range of acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, spin-offs and other corporate transactions. We are an acknowledged leader with respect to cross-border transactions, which has historically been a principal focus of our group and our Firm as a whole. For nearly 70 years, we have been guiding clients on both the buy-side and sell-side of complex multi-jurisdictional transactions, and over the past decade, we have successfully completed more cross-border transactions than any other law firm in the world. We are one of the few law firms capable of providing a specialized, inception-through-integration approach, through which we guide clients from strategy and structuring to a coordinated closing across multiple jurisdictions. We serve as a “one stop shop” for our multinational clients on all types of M&A, joint ventures, reorganizations, and other transactions. Not only do we offer a unique combination of local expertise with an experienced team of global deal lawyers, but we are fully integrated and also truly know one another—the key to a successful, seamless multi-jurisdictional transaction. As a result of our long history of working as a truly global team, we have invested in and refined our precedents and processes to drive efficiencies and provide the highest quality standards and deal practices, enabling us to execute deals with greater precision than our competitors.
