About Gesmer Updegrove LLP
At Gesmer Updegrove LLP, lawyers handle acquisitions and other transactions for technology companies, other rapidly growing businesses, and the people who found and invest in them. Recognized by both the Chambers USA 2026 Guide and the Legal 500 USA 2026 Guide, the firm brings that transaction work to clients from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Gesmer Updegrove LLP represents both buyers and sellers of businesses. For a buyer, the firm looks for a better match between the target and the buyer's plans, for example by spinning off the less productive parts of an acquired business. For a seller, it works with founders and stakeholders so that each of their goals, from intellectual property to compensation, is covered. Lawyers in Boston choose the deal structure that suits each side's strategy and tax needs, then negotiate and close the transaction.
