Comprehensive Mergers and Acquisitions Counsel

Federman provides corporate and transactional counsel to facilitate the structuring, financing and successful completion of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, mergers, joint ventures/strategic alliances and recapitalizations, debt and equity offerings and other similar commercial transactions. We serve as counsel to a cross-section of privately-held and venture-backed companies, partnerships, private equity firms, management groups and entrepreneurs.

Efficient, Integrated Transaction Support

We are organized to serve our clients efficiently, without the delays and bureaucracy found at larger firms with many lawyers handling even the smallest parts of transactions.  Our expertise and established systems allow us to provide effective legal services at rates significantly below those of comparable firms. To the extent a lead investor or major shareholder may require the use of a large, multi-national law firm in connection with a particular merger or acquisition, our firm is often hired as outside general counsel to the company to liaise with the larger firm or to handle a specific aspect of the larger corporate transaction (e.g., real estate diligence, landlord consents, etc.).

  • Buy-side advisory services

  • Recapitalizations
