Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

Companies turn to Orrick's Compensation and Benefits Group because of our proven success in handling all aspects of complex M&A transactions. We have advised clients on all types of transactions, including traditional stock and asset acquisitions, divestitures, and spin-offs, and multinational joint ventures. We work with each client to achieve maximum tax and financial results, while reducing liabilities and attaining employee retention and incentive goals.

Orrick lawyers also help companies structure transactions at the early planning stages of an acquisition. Our counseling extends well beyond legal documentation as we assist clients with quantitative analyses on the different approaches to a transaction and give practical and useful business advice.
