What is a Merger/Acquisition?
A merger involves combining two or more companies into a single surviving entity, whereas an acquisition involves one company purchasing or absorbing another.
In many cases, a non-surviving business must meet specific state and tax requirements before it ceases independent operations. Our team assists with drafting and filing the required documents, ensuring your merged entity remains compliant and in good standing.
If you are consolidating corporate entities, absorbing assets, or executing a cross-state acquisition, our team knows the steps required in each state.
We help with the sequence of filings, documentation of shareholder consent, corporate resolutions, amendments, and any tax clearance or dissolutions needed.
