About Day Pitney LLP

Day Pitney's Mergers and Acquisitions team acts as counsel on every part of a middle-market transaction. It represents buyers acquiring a business and owners selling one, handling the structure of the deal, due diligence, the negotiation of the purchase agreement, and the closing. Its lawyers work alongside private equity investors, family offices, and emerging growth companies on the acquisitions, divestitures, and recapitalizations they pursue. The team also advises privately owned companies and their owners at each stage of a business's life, from its formation through its eventual sale. For owners preparing to exit, that means planning the transition, readying the company for a buyer, and carrying the sale through to close, whether the business passes to an outside acquirer or to the next generation of owners and management.

Who is a good fit for Day Pitney LLP

  • Owners of middle-market businesses who need counsel on a sale.
  • Buyers who are acquiring a company and need counsel for the purchase.
