Mergers & Acquisitions

Milbank's M&A Practice assists clients in structuring, negotiating, documenting and closing complicated, innovative M&A transactions. We represent all the key participants in M&A transactions, including targets, bidders, minority shareholders, boards of directors and their special committees and financial advisors. Our expertise is far-ranging and includes negotiated mergers, contested transactions (including hostile tender offers and proxy contests), joint ventures/strategic alliances and majority/minority investments.

To enhance our expertise, we have invested considerable time and energy over the years in understanding the sectors within which our clients operate. This enables us to become a truly valuable member of a broader client team.

Our key sector expertise includes:

  • Aerospace
  • Consumer and Retail
  • Financial Institutions
  • Infrastructure
  • Media
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Space and Satellites
  • Telecommunications
  • Chemicals
  • Energy and Utilities
  • Health care
  • Insurance
  • Outsourcing
  • Real Estate
  • Technology
  • Transportation

An integrated strategy is the hallmark of our approach to M&A and allows us to organize our capabilities around the needs of the client, rather than rigidly by sector group or by jurisdiction. We work closely with other practices that fall within Milbank's Global Corporate Group, including Private Equity and Corporate Advisory. We also provide cutting-edge expertise in such key support areas as Tax, Antitrust, Real Estate, Employee Compensation and BenefitsEnvironment and Intellectual Property, and often collaborate with our preeminent Corporate Finance and Litigation Practices.

Operating as a single international partnership, Milbank is able to serve the needs of our clients in the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia from our offices in the key financial jurisdictions, with the right mix of international and local capability. We take pride in being able to organize ourselves to meet the client's needs, by leading and resourcing any transaction out of any office.

We believe that the success of our clients over the years demonstrates our own success in providing the high level of services that sophisticated clients require today from their external legal advisors in connection with high-profile M&A transactions.
