Within M&As and corporate reorganization projects we advise on a full-range of issues related to securities issuance, property title, investment risks, etc. Our lawyers prepare essential documentation as confidentiality agreement and sale-and-purchase agreements, deliver advice on means to minimize or eliminate any risks detected and effectively collaborate with international advisers on cross-border aspects of deals, if any.
Liniya Prava has a significant track-record of counseling on M&A transactions involving leading banks and savings institutions, broker-dealers, asset managers and finance companies. We handle matters ranging in size and complexity from small- and mid-size transactions within a single national or regional market to multi-billion dollar cross-border transactions. We consider our greatest strengths to be the attention, care and partner-led service we give, regardless of the size of the deal.
We represent domestic and foreign corporations and their financial advisors in M&A transactions including:
- Asset acquisitions and dispositions
- Leveraged buyouts
- Equity purchases and sales
- Recapitalizations
- Reorganizations

The practice works closely with lawyers from other key practice areas. These include the firm’s Banking and Finance practice which provides our clients with the needed financial products and transactions experience; and Antitrust & Competition to ensure that client transactions are completed without undue regulatory delay.
Given that M&A deals imply strict compliance with both civil and corporate laws and the securities market regulation, Liniya Prava’s expertise in contiguous practice areas as Litigation and Capital Markets, etc. proves itself extremely valuable.
Knowledge of the applicable statutory, regulatory and self-regulatory requirements and the best-practices approaches to corporate governance is vital to clients in financial M&A transactions. Our timely and practical advice guides clients as they navigate evolving regulatory and industry-specific requirements.
