Vela Wood offers a business-savvy and talented group of M&A attorneys who advise clients on deals throughout the United States and overseas. We have robust experience in all types of M&A transactions, including mergers, asset purchases, equity sales, management buyouts, divestitures, joint ventures, and other corporate restructurings.
Our attorneys pride themselves on providing expert, responsive and diligent representation to target companies of all sizes, buyers (including strategics, private equity funds, and searchfunds), financial advisors, and other M&A deal participants. While our corporate lawyers generally coordinate all aspects of M&A representation, they work closely with lawyers in other areas of the firm’s practice, such as tax, intellectual property, venture, and employment to provide critical support for transactions.
