Mergers & Acquisitions

Cincinnati Mergers & Acquisitions Attorneys

At Drew & Ward we are exceptional in the number and the variety of public and private mergers and acquisitions we have handled. Our clients benefit from this degree of experience, and also from our attorneys' focus on finding uniquely suitable solutions for each transaction.

From the earliest letter of intent through due diligence and contract formation to representation at closing, our M&A lawyers provide the insightful and thorough counsel necessary to protect our clients' interests during the process of a merger, acquisition, or corporate restructuring.

An important element of that counsel is the process of defining our client's goals, goals that may include growth or expansion of a young business, capitalization that allows a business to take advantage of a new opportunity, or restructuring an organization to better protect the company's current operation.

“My role is to assess the client’s situation, determine all options, advocate on behalf of the client, and advise the best way to achieve goals."

Attorney Robert M. Smyth
