Highly-skilled team of lawyers meeting your transactional needs with innovation, solutions and service on every deal.
At Mitchell Williams, we understand that every transaction is important to our clients. Whether your deal is just big enough to turn your family business into a retirement nest egg or so big that it must navigate a complicated maze of antitrust and securities laws, it is important to you. And that makes it important to us.
Our mergers and acquisitions lawyers have extensive experience representing both buyers and sellers of all sizes, including both privately held entities and public companies, in deals across a multitude of industries. We consistently handle many of the largest transactions in the State of Arkansas and assist our clients with transactions across North America. Our M&A team of attorneys understands that successful transactions take meticulous attention to detail. We guide transactions from a letter of intent and initial structuring through due diligence, negotiation, documentation and closing. We routinely work with sellers to prepare their companies for the selling process and work with buyers not only through the closing but through post-closing integration and other post-closing matters. We understand market trends, local markets and industry-specific issues, all of which contribute to each step in the process. And, we drive value to our clients by drawing from the sophisticated resources across our firm to provide securities, tax, employment, intellectual property, regulatory and litigation knowledge needed to provide comprehensive service for your transactions.
