* Due Diligence. A thorough legal, financial, and operational analysis of the target business will identify and quantify any areas of concern.
* Regulatory Considerations. These include general areas such as environmental, antitrust, securities, and others, as well as those issues specific to your industry or the situation.
* Structuring the Deal. The architecture of the transaction will have profound effects on tax, accounting, shareholder, and other financial considerations for all the businesses involved.
