What Does M&A Mean?

You may have heard the term “M&A” being used by attorneys. M&A stands for Mergers and Acquisitions and is grouped together as an area of Business Law that deals with the purchase or acquisition of businesses and what happens after the purchase and sale. A Merger is where two or more companies come together to form a single company which may be one of the original companies or a new entity all together. An acquisition is where one company takes complete ownership over another. In any case, most M&A transactions are governed either by an Asset Purchase Agreement, Stock Purchase Agreement or Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. TCLG can advise you on the differences between the structure of the transactions and negotiate and draft the terms of your agreement that fit your unique circumstances.
