About Stahl Cowen Crowley Addis LLC
Stahl Cowen Crowley Addis LLC represents buyers and sellers of businesses, from middle-market and family-owned companies to acquisitions that involve public companies. Its lawyers handle purchases and sales of specific assets, divisions, and whole companies, mergers of corporations and limited liability companies, reorganizations and recapitalizations, and joint ventures. They structure each deal, negotiate its terms, and prepare the documents, and they build in tax planning, including tax-free reorganizations and tax-deferred structures, along with earnouts, escrows, delayed payouts, and cash-stock elections where the deal calls for them. The firm practices from 55 West Monroe in Chicago. Working with a client's accountants, it arranges debt, equity, and hybrid convertible financing for a purchase, and it guides management, stockholders, and lenders through leveraged buyouts. When a sale needs a regulator's sign-off, the firm obtains the approvals, from FCC consents and liquor and gaming licenses to Hart-Scott-Rodino pre-merger filings, and it adds employment, real estate, and securities counsel so the transaction can close.
