Mergers and
Acquisitions
Lon & n has long
and wide-ranging experience in the entire gamut of business
reorganizations and takeovers. We have represented bidders,
acquirers, targets, sellers, leveraged buy out promoters,
dealmakers and financial advisors in all types of transactions,
takeovers, exchange offers, leveraged buy-outs, listing
and de-listing transactions and multi-step acquisitions
and sales involving domestic and international participants.
We are adept in handling the acquisition and financing
of public and private companies of any size and combinations
of both. We advise clients on all phases of acquisitions
or sales, both structuring of successful transactions
and resisting takeovers, responding to solicited and
unsolicited acquisition offers and in arranging public
and private financing, be it domestic, foreign, ‘non-resident'
or ‘other corporate body'.
As leading M&A lawyers, we are experienced in strategy
and implementation. We have established multi-country,
multi-funding acquisition structures, formulated and
incorporated complex acquisition vehicle structures,
created surrogate buyer models, provided complex comfort
plans and leveraged our experience in creating one-off
acquisition plans to address unique situations.
We have also acquired substantial experience of acquisitions
through private arrangements and boardroom strategies.
We have very substantial experience in supporting hostile
acquisitions through control and supervision of the
target's board and through litigation that we support
at all levels and in any jurisdiction.
