About Moore & Van Allen PLLC

Moore & Van Allen PLLC's Search Fund and Independent Sponsor team works with searchers and search funds through every stage of a search and the acquisition that ends it, advising on the purchase and the sale of businesses, and it represents independent sponsors across all parts of their acquisition transactions. Its deal work covers purchases and sales of equity and of assets, mergers, carve-outs from private and public companies, cross-border deals, recapitalizations, and joint ventures.
