MERGERS & ACQUISITIONSMerger and acquisition activity is brisk as companies seek to grow and diversify revenue streams. Private equity and other financial buyers seek to put cash to work and take advantage of favorable interest rates. Many companies seek to monetize their operating or portfolio investments during favorable economic times.LAND USE LAWThe ability for a business to operate in a particular location is determined by issues of land use and zoning. In California, each city and county has the ability to control land use considerations within its borders. Our attorneys have worked with hundreds of clients in dozens of jurisdictions to locate sensitive facilities and secure relevant permits for use and build out.TRUST & ESTATE PLANNINGWe understand that trust and estate matters can be sensitive and emotionally difficult.
