Significant Matters
We merged three small firms into a new company majority-owned and financed by a large, publicly owned corporation. All of the transactions had challenging business and tax law issues, especially the long-term reciprocal buy-out options tied to complex valuation formulas. There was a great need for creativity and we came through with flying colors. The degree of complexity made the project one of my favorites.
