About Cranfill Sumner LLP
Cranfill Sumner LLP's Mergers & Acquisitions attorneys represent buyers and sellers in asset and equity deals, merger structures, and private equity transactions, advising private equity firms and their portfolio companies as they grow through acquisitions and guiding owners through the sale of the companies they built. Health care deals are a large part of that work: the team represents physicians, dentists, med spas, dental support organizations, and medical support organizations, handling the HIPAA, Stark, and Anti-Kickback questions those transactions raise. Its Business Law group serves clients from a small family-run business to a national corporation, handling entity selection, formation, and governance, negotiating the agreements a company relies on, and structuring venture capital financing, and for small to mid-sized businesses it often serves as outsourced in-house counsel. The firm has offices in Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington, and Washington, D.C., and its Business Law group covers all of North Carolina from the three North Carolina offices. Its other practices, including business disputes, construction, employment, insurance, and government work, support a transaction when employment, real estate, or regulatory issues come up, so a buyer or seller can keep the whole deal with one firm.
