Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures

Walter & Haverfield structures and negotiates corporate mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and leveraged buy-outs for publicly and privately held companies, management groups, family business owners and outside investors. Among the most complex of business transactions, acquisitions and divestitures require both legal skills and sensitivity to interpersonal relationships and personal attachments. One measure of the success of our approach is the fact that our attorneys are called upon for guidance not only by owners of small, closely held businesses, but also by institutional and private investors and officers of multinational corporations.

Industries served include moving and storage, records management, propane gas, precision metal forming, automobile dealerships, printing, wood products manufacturing, steel, auto parts, medical equipment and devices, executive search, wholesale distribution, industrial gases, biochemical products, dairy, computer services and software and general contractors.
