Mergers & Acquisitions

The key principle behind buying a company is to establish shareholder value over and above that of the sum of the two companies. The reasoning behind mergers and acquisitions is that two companies together are better than two separate companies. This reasoning becomes captivating to companies when times are rough. Financially healthy companies will act to buy other companies in order to create a more competitive and cost effective company. Target companies will usually agree to be purchased when they know they can’t survive on their own and both companies will come together hoping to gain a greater market share. A Roseville Attorney can counsel you during a merge and acquisition to make sure you make the best decision that benefits you and your company.
