Other Merger and Acquisition Services Our Denver M&A Law Firm Handles

The services detailed previously are but a brief selection and explanation of what a merger and acquisition lawyer from our firm can offer to our M&A clients. As mentioned, we work with parties to M&As throughout the entire process until its completion, from planning to closing and beyond. We perform the following process, whether you are acquiring a competitor or accepting venture capital.

  • Due diligence is essential in any deal. It means ensuring that all the right documentation is complete and filed correctly by both parties involved with the deal. We’ll analyze all liabilities, schedules, tax information, and more. We’ll ensure that everything is in order before a deal goes ahead.

  • We’ll help you organize your business structure and oversee the agreement of corporate governance moving forward. This also involves accessing minutes from board meetings, shareholder information and material, incorporating documents, and more. Our legal due diligence review will identify any potential liabilities and issues before you commit to a merger or acquisition.

  • Antitrust refers to laws in the United States designed to stop anticompetitive behavior. We’ll ensure that your merger or acquisition is not at risk of falling foul of these antitrust laws and help protect your business against potential lawsuits.

  • Our acquisition attorneys will also renegotiate third-party contracts and ensure that you get the best possible deal when moving forward with a merger or acquisition. This relates to any contract that either party (business) has with contractors, employees, or other professionals who provide services and are expected to continue working with the company after the merger.

  • Our team will oversee the creation of a new employee policy, as well as analyze existing employee policy for legal compliance and see whether it can be improved for both the business and employees. Our knowledge of state and local employment laws means we’ll handle this quickly and diligently.

  • International M&A deals come with their own set of challenges. When looking to do cross-border M&As and other similar deals outside U.S. borders, you need a corporate mergers and acquisitions law firm with international mergers and acquisition lawyers who can effectively represent your interests in Colorado and around the world.

    International mergers pose additional problems and complications in that they involve a series of additional laws and regulations that may be entirely different from what you expect to see in the United States, or more specifically in Colorado.

    We have a team of international merger lawyers who can assist you with making deals abroad, acquiring foreign businesses, and determining what laws apply to you.

  • Distressed mergers or acquisitions, whereby a company is effectively forced to sell or merge because of financial obligations to creditors, is a tricky process. Our M&A lawyers not only understand the legal requirements in this process, but we can assist in matters relating to pension contributions and obligations, due diligence, warranty, insurance, and board restructuring that are extremely important when overseeing a deal like this.

  • If you’re operating a private equity firm, you know just how burdensome the regulations and government scrutiny can be. Our attorneys work closely with you to handle the unique challenges your company faces, assisting you in navigating various financial and corporate matters while you handle your day-to-day operations.‍

    We’ll ensure you always make an informed decision when buying or selling and that you don’t fall foul of complex laws relating to private equity companies.

Still, have questions about our corporate mergers and acquisitions law firm? No problem. Take a look at these answers to some of the most common questions we get asked, and if you still have questions, don’t hesitate to simply give us a call!

  • We don’t just make mergers easier – we facilitate them from start to finish. Beginning with due diligence and initial discussion and moving on to facilitating and drafting agreements, we’ll handle every step of the merger and acquisition process to ensure that your deal goes ahead smoothly.

    Sequoia Legal also takes an active interest in the success of your business, meaning we don’t just intend to get the merger or acquisition done, but we work to obtain the best possible terms for all involved.

    That means carefully crafted agreements, attention paid to your tax affairs and obligations, and true dedication from legal professionals to help your business get ahead and grow as soon as the deal is done.

  • Yes. Sequoia Legal is known in the Denver business community for its dedication to local small and medium-sized enterprises. Our team utilizes experience working with prestigious global law firms to bring that Big Law skill to local companies, and this really shines in our merger and acquisition work.

    Our team’s experience with corporate and international law gives us the confidence and knowledge required to represent your business to an opposing board of directors and to draw up purchase agreements that will determine the future of your business and be accepted by all parties involved.

  • As your M&A attorney, we’ll represent your business during every step of the merger or acquisition process. We start by preparing your business for a sale or merger, drafting documents, overseeing legal obligations, obtaining third-party consent, conducting your due diligence reviews, and working with you to draw up purchase agreements that comply with the law and fit both parties’ needs.

    Our lawyers work with your before, during, and after the merger to ensure that every piece of paperwork is correctly filed, every agreement is accepted by all parties involved, and that all legal and tax obligations are met. We’ll then work with you on post-closing matters to ensure your business is fully ready to go.

  • 100% you should. Buying or selling a company brings with it a plethora of legal and tax obligations that could land you in serious trouble if not properly dealt with and complied with.

    As your merger and acquisition lawyer, we’ll handle all those obligations, file all necessary paperwork and assist with agreements, obtain third-party consents, and set your business up for success. Without a legal advisor who has extensive experience in these types of transactions, you may never know what fatal flaws were made during the sale or acquisition process until it’s too late.
