Cross-Border M&A

Cross-Border M&A

Cross-Border M&A

Successfully executing cross-border mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other business combinations requires counsel experienced in navigating both the complexities inherent in any significant transaction and the unique challenges presented by differing local laws, practices, customs, and culture. 

Our cross-border M&A team comprises leading transactional lawyers in our offices around the globe – including in New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo and Dubai – who have deep relationships with best-in-class local counsel in key jurisdictions. We leverage this combination of experience and resources to guide sellers, purchasers, target companies and financial advisors through all types of complex international and cross-border deals throughout the world.

Our team is supported by lawyers in our antitrust and competition, international tax, global human capital and compliance, regulatory, and global disputes practices, whom we call on to advise on key issues affecting international transactions. 

We also draw on our dedicated industry teams – such as financial services, technology, media and entertainment, healthcare, life sciences, food and beverage, energy, and insurance – for specialized knowledge and advice critical to navigating cross-border transactions in these sectors.
