Mergers

A merger involves two or more separate enterprises forming one single legal entity by combining their assets and, unfortunately, liabilities. These are large deals that do not happen overnight. A majority vote of shareholders is generally required to approve any merger, and that’s after extensive research and planning to determine if the merger is in the best interest of all involved parties.

These are some of the issues that will need to be addressed before finalizing any agreement:

• Tax Consequences
• Liability
• Insurance
• Projected Market Power (Product Demand)
• Type of Transaction for the Merger
• Management Structuring
• Cost & Benefit Analysis
