In The Words Of Our Clients

I was pleased to be able to work with the Paul Ellis Law Group attorneys in connection with the merger of a division of my company with another company in a similar line of business. This was not an easy deal as there was a lot of complexity in some of the provisions, it was heavily-negotiated and had significant time pressure. Throughout, the PELG team was absolutely on top of all of the issues and was super-responsive. Their expertise really showed through in identifying the unintended consequences of provisions that were initially proposed by the business people and then proposing alternative solutions in an effort to get the deal done. They were aggressive advocates when needed, but were able to dial it back to find a compromise when appropriate. I would certainly work with PELG again on a similar deal and I continue to rely on them for general corporate matters.

I consider myself a savvy business person, but selling my company was my first M&A transaction. Paul and his team were great. They explained the process, the options I had to consider and helped me through many complicated and complex decisions. If you're looking for an attorney to help prepare for a sale or navigate the sale process, Paul and his team are a great choice.
