Mergers and Acquisitions

At Doster Guin James Ullom Benson & Mundorf, LLC, we believe it is essential that a company considering a merger, a business acquisition, corporate restructuring, or another strategic alliance is represented by legal counsel that fully understands all aspects of the transaction under consideration. In order to provide our clients with that depth of expertise, our merger and acquisition lawyers focus their practices in that area. Our services for each client are designed to maximize the business's potential.

There is no aspect of a business that is unaffected by a change in ownership. As your counsel, our attorneys will consider shareholder liability, employment law, the impact a stock purchase or sale will have on your company's long-term viability and profitability, tax and estate planning, and numerous other issues — all in the context of your business objectives. A team of professionals will be assembled specifically for their ability to address the unique aspects of your transaction. If the deal is good for your company, we will do everything we can to see it close smoothly.

Our attorneys have handled complex mergers and acquisitions, as large as $150 million, and provide the thorough, comprehensive legal analysis necessary to protect our clients' interests. When representing a buyer or seller they will handle all related issues, including the following:
