EXPERIENCE
We also assist investment banking firms structure transactions and handle issues that arise in connection with the negotiations.
At the suggestion of our investment banking firm clients, we often serve as co-counsel or transaction counsel for acquirers or target companies in M&A transactions. We assist these companies with a complete range of services, from preparing and negotiating transaction documents to handling employee and stock option issues to preparing and filing SEC documents.
We are very sensitive to the risks investment banking firms face when providing financial advisory services and rendering fairness opinions. Allen Matkins attorneys have counseled investment banking firms in liability issues confronting investment bankers in M&A transactions as well as ways of reducing exposure. We have also provided seminars on these topics to investment banking firms, as part of a “risk minimization” program.
