About Honigman LLP
Honigman's Private Equity and M&A team works for traditional private equity funds, family offices, independent sponsors, and the portfolio companies they own, with its main focus on middle-market transactions. The lawyers stay with a sponsor across the whole life of an investment: financing and closing the purchase of a company, advising it while it is owned, and handling its add-on acquisitions and divestitures along the way. When a sponsor is ready to exit, the team handles recapitalizations, mergers and consolidations, and sales of assets or stock, which puts it across the table from, and sometimes alongside, the owners who sell to these buyers. Its deal work reaches manufacturing, automotive, business services, construction, healthcare, aerospace, specialty chemicals, financial services, direct-to-consumer marketing, and housing and building products companies.
