Whether you are acquiring a competitor, selling a company you spent years building, or merging with a strategic partner, the decisions made during the transactional stage have long-term consequences. Your choice of legal counsel can have a substantial impact on the outcome.

BoneLex represents buyers and sellers in mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic business transactions. With deep experience in sophisticated business transactions, founding attorney Devin Bone has the expertise required to navigate complex, transformational business transactions, structuring each deal with the exit in mind and the goal of maximizing value.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions are among the most consequential and legally complex events in the lifecycle of any business. Success requires due diligence, sound transaction structuring, aggressive negotiation, and a smooth closing. BoneLex manages this process, identifying risk, solving problems, and driving deals towards a successful close. When issues arise, the Firm has the expertise to address them within the full context of the deal.

Strategic Business Transactions

BoneLex represents clients across the full spectrum of business transactions, including joint ventures, partnerships, licensing agreements, asset purchases, and commercial agreements. A background in commercial litigation provides a clear understanding of how transactions play out in the real world, including how deals break down and disputes arise. This perspective shapes how BoneLex approaches strategic transactions, ensuring agreements are drafted for clarity, anticipating potential conflicts, and protecting client interests at the closing and into the future.

Turnarounds and Dissolutions

When a business reaches a point of financial pressure, such as cash flow problems, creditor demands, or operational disruption, the decisions made are among the most consequential a business owner will face. Acting without legal advice can foreclose options that would otherwise have been available.

When the decision has been made to wind down a business, the dissolution process carries legal obligations that must be handled with care to protect owners from post-dissolution liability and ensure the company’s final chapter does not create new legal exposure.
