Mergers and Acquisitions

The mergers and acquisitions team at Hertz Schram has years of experience in guiding clients through the process of merging business or acquiring businesses, which are complex processes that business owners require expert guidance in. 

Business mergers are one of the most common instances that the public will hear about.

Hertz Schram’s mergers and acquisitions team has decades of combined experience in guiding business owners through the complexities of business mergers and acquisitions, making for the best possible outcome for all corporate members involved. Business mergers and acquisitions can involve many different business processes such as acquisitions and dispositions of business interests, taxable and tax-free transactions, mergers, consolidations, tenders, share exchanges, stock and asset purchases, joint ventures, leveraged buyouts, acquisitive reorganizations, Employee Stock Ownership Plan acquisitions, and sale and redemption combinations.
