Our Alaska mergers and acquisitions attorneys represent private businesses, Alaska Native Corporations, entrepreneurs, and investors in mergers and acquisitions. We help clients buy and sell companies, business assets, and stock/ownership interests.
Whether the objective is growth, a partner buyout, a succession plan, or an exit strategy, M&A should be treated as a well-choreographed process, from due diligence to closing, not just a set of documents. Focusing on the terms that drive value, appropriately allocate risk, and affect operations after closing, we coordinate across practice areas so clients get practical, holistic advice.
We assist clients with evaluating and structuring transactions to match business goals and risk tolerance, including:
- Stock and membership interest purchases and sales
- Asset purchases and sales
- Buyouts, recapitalizations, and restructurings
- Spin-offs and reorganizations
- Equity rollovers
- Entity choice and formation
- Regulatory approvals and compliance
- Transaction financing, seller financing, secured transactions, and refinancing transactions
- Tax elections and related tax issues that affect deal economics and timing
We have experience serving as local counsel for out-of-state buyers on complex, large-dollar transactions, with issues ranging from multi-state acquisitions, intricate escrows and holdback terms, and earnouts, to heavily regulated businesses, including, by way of example, registered investment advisors and waste management companies.
On the other end of the spectrum, we routinely advise clients on small business purchases and sales, including fishing and hunting lodge businesses, industrial and industry (including oil) support companies, and single location niche service companies.
Whether you are selling your family-owned business or looking to buy a billion-dollar Alaska company, we have the M&A lawyers with the experience to help get the deal done.
