About Dykema Gossett PLLC
Dykema Gossett PLLC handles independent sponsor, private equity, and mergers and acquisitions work. Its lawyers advise middle-market private equity and venture capital investors on acquisitions, dispositions, and financing. Its M&A clients run from closely held private businesses, family offices, and privately held portfolio companies to midsized subsidiaries of public Fortune 500 companies. On a private equity deal its lawyers plan and structure the transaction, manage competitive bidding, and draft and negotiate the investment or acquisition documents. For independent sponsors, first-time and repeat alike, its lawyers start before the letter of intent, shaping the sponsor's approach and negotiating terms with capital partners such as family offices, private equity funds, SBICs, and strategic investors. They then carry the acquisition through to closing. After the deal they handle the company's governance and the add-on acquisitions, recapitalizations, refinancings, and exits that follow, through the sale of the business.
