About Ashurst Perkins Coie
Ashurst Perkins Coie's US mergers and acquisitions and private equity bench works on both sides of a company sale. For sellers, the M&A group handles exits for founder-owned, family-owned, and venture capital-backed companies, and it describes its lawyers as attentive to what a family goes through when it sells the business it built. The same lawyers represent strategic buyers and private equity sponsors acquiring companies, including add-on acquisitions for sponsors' portfolio companies. Several lawyers on the bench represent buyers who work outside the traditional fund model: searchers, the investors who back search funds, and independent and fund-less sponsors, through the acquisition and the deals that follow it. Others advise closely held and family-owned businesses and family offices on buying and selling companies.
