Management and Leveraged Buyouts

When the owners of a business wish to sell all or part of their business, the management team is often provided the opportunity to buy. Even though this is an exciting opportunity for a management team and the owner, most do not have the experience to execute the transaction without an advisor.

Our professionals have extensive experience representing management teams and business owners throughout the entire management buyout process. Such buyouts usually include significant financial leverage and involve a close partnership between senior managers and outside capital sources. We act as financial advisors to the acquiring management team and assist them in securing private equity, mezzanine debt, and bank financing to fund the transaction on the best possible terms. We offer advice from the earliest phases of the transaction through closing, and are actively involved in working with management teams to formulate offers, structure the transaction, and negotiate the non-financial terms. Our goal is to meet the objectives of management teams and business owners in order to structure and negotiate a successful management buyout.
