At Spengler & Agans, our mergers and acquisitions attorneys in Philadelphia provide comprehensive counsel to buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Guiding Clients Through Sophisticated Transactions

Whether you’re acquiring a competitor, merging with a complementary business, or positioning your company for sale, our M&A attorneys bring extensive experience in structuring and executing successful transactions. We represent clients in asset purchases, stock acquisitions, mergers, and other business-combination structures, advising on the approach that best serves your strategic goals, tax considerations, and risk-management priorities.

Our team conducts thorough due diligence, examining financial records, contracts, intellectual property portfolios, employment arrangements, litigation history, and regulatory compliance. This comprehensive analysis identifies potential liabilities, uncovers hidden risks, and provides the information necessary for informed decision-making and effective negotiation. We work closely with financial advisors, accountants, and industry consultants to ensure all critical aspects of the target business receive appropriate scrutiny.

Negotiating Terms That Protect Your Position

Transaction negotiation requires balancing competing interests while advancing toward a successful closing. Our attorneys draft and negotiate letters of intent, purchase agreements, and related transaction documents that clearly define terms, allocate risks appropriately, and establish mechanisms for resolving potential disputes. We address critical deal points, including purchase price structures, earnout provisions, indemnification obligations, escrow arrangements, and post-closing covenants.

For sellers, we structure transactions that maximize value while minimizing tax exposure and limiting ongoing liability. We negotiate representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions that protect against post-closing claims and ensure clean exits when appropriate. For buyers, we implement protective measures, including thorough due diligence, contingencies, purchase price adjustments, and strong indemnification rights, to guard against undisclosed liabilities.

Addressing Financing and Regulatory Requirements

Many acquisitions involve complex financing arrangements requiring careful coordination with lenders and investors. Our attorneys structure debt financing, equity investments, and hybrid arrangements that provide necessary capital while preserving favorable terms. We negotiate financing agreements, security instruments, and related documentation that support transaction completion.

We also guide clients through regulatory requirements affecting M&A transactions, including securities law compliance, antitrust considerations, and industry-specific regulatory approvals. Our team manages required filings, coordinates with regulatory authorities, and develops strategies to address potential regulatory challenges that could affect transaction timing or structure.

Facilitating Smooth Integration and Transitions

Successful transactions extend beyond closing. We assist clients with post-closing integration matters, including employment transitions, contract assignments, intellectual property transfers, and corporate restructuring. Our attorneys address transition services agreements, employment retention arrangements, and other mechanisms that facilitate smooth operational integration following the completion of a transaction.
