Overview
Record-setting capital market activity requires legal counsel driven by market intelligence. Katten has guided hundreds of leveraged buyouts and financings. We provide investors and strategic buyers with the competitive market knowledge needed to protect value and keep companies governed well.
Practical insights clear obstacles
Knowing what can derail a transaction — and what won't — streamlines the due diligence process. Our real-time grasp of trending deal terms creates practical and competitive structures. We represent public companies and privately held, strategic acquirers, private equity funds, family offices and other investors, and we do so in a practical and commercial manner.
In a deal era where the highest offer no longer rules, Katten adds value by identifying key drivers, managing regulatory risk and anticipating bottlenecks. Clients depend on the long-term safeguards infused into our deal analyses and structures. From tax to disclosure and regulatory compliance, we coordinate legal solutions to issues that arise in:
- Cross-border transactions
- Going-private transactions
- Leveraged and management buyouts
- Proxy contests
- Restructurings
- Securities offerings
- Spinoffs
- Tender offers
