As with other areas of practice, our mergers, acquisitions and divestitures team enjoys a robust stream of conflict referrals. Typically, these involve one of two different situations. First, we represent buyers and sellers of businesses where their traditional counsel does not have experience with these matters. Second, we represent clients who are referred to us because we can accomplish the tasks efficiently and creatively, when a standard practice may not meet the client's needs.

Attorneys at the firm focusing on mergers, acquisitions, and business transactions include:

C. Richard Rayburn Jr.
W. Scott Cooper
James B. Gatehouse
Patricia B. Edmondson
