Rhoads & Sinon LLP attorneys know how to get the deal done. We have extensive experience in negotiating and structuring mergers and acquisitions, including compliance with applicable securities and antitrust regulations such as Hart-Scott-Rodino Act notification filings.

Utilizing a team approach with our banking, tax, real estate, labor and employment, employee benefits and executive compensation, and/or environmental attorneys, as appropriate, we can guide you through all phases of expanding or selling your business, from strategic planning through negotiations and "due diligence" to closing the deal.

We also regularly counsel our clients on corporate governance matters related to acquisitions and transactions, including:

• Fiduciary responsibilities of corporate directors and officers,
• Shareholder rights plans,
• Transactions which convert companies from public to private ownership,
• Share repurchases.

With the recent enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, these and other related matters have taken an increased importance.

Our attorneys also have experience with hostile tender offers, proxy fights, unsolicited merger proposals and disputes involving ownership of privately held business.
