Mergers &
Acquisitions

Our M&A lawyers are among the most experienced and effective in the world. We represent many of the world’s largest publicly traded and privately held companies, as well as leading private equity firms on their most important mergers, acquisitions and takeover transactions.

With over 50 partners and 125 counsel and associates across the US, Europe and Asia, we field a team that provides clients with a unique, global perspective that is commercial, effective and efficient and has a proven track record of success. Since 2020, Paul Weiss has advised on over 900 M&A transactions and have handled over $1.5 trillion in total M&A for public and private companies, private equity firms and their portfolio companies and other investors.

Our M&A Group is supplemented by a depth of experience in all relevant disciplines (e.g., tax, ERISA, real estate, intellectual property, environmental) necessary to consummate a successful M&A deal. We regularly handle the full spectrum of domestic and international corporate transactions, including public and private M&A, leveraged buyouts and private equity investments, corporate divestitures and spin-offs, take-private transactions and joint ventures. We also provide clients critical advice on shareholder activist defense and unsolicited and hostile transactions.
