This is FindLaw's collection of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) articles, part of the Corporate Governance section of the Corporate Counsel Center. Typical M&A work involves advising on selling, combining, and acquiring businesses. Large firms often focus on public M&A, advising either the buyer or seller in a transaction involving a public company. This area of corporate law routinely provides the biggest deals, often crosses international borders, and can involve cash and/or stock considerations. Law articles in this archive are predominantly written by lawyers for a professional audience seeking business solutions to legal issues. Start your free research with FindLaw.
