Atlanta, GA
ATLANTA (January 9, 2007) The Merger & Acquisitions Practice at McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP has been named as one of the top five groups on the East Coast, according to the Legal 500.
The firm’s M&A Practice is described by the Legal 500 as serving “a varied client portfolio (comprised) of public and privately-held organizations from a broad range of industries, including the financial services, communications, healthcare and retail sectors. The firm represents an increasing number of Fortune 500 companies.” The Legal 500 goes on to write that “clients value the ‘excellent support’ provided by the firm’s M&A team,” and highlights the practice’s work for clients including NOVA Information Systems.
“We are extremely proud of this recognition, particularly because the research data comes primarily from clients. Our M&A Practice’s strength and diversity of scope in deal size and transaction type provide our clients with a real advantage,” said Jeff Haidet, Chairman of McKenna Long & Aldridge. “Our momentum in serving Fortune 500 and mid-market companies continues to grow for the M&A Practice, and our corporate department as a whole.”
The Merger & Acquisitions Practice represents a broad range of clients — acquirers, targets, financial advisors, special committees, equity investors, leveraged buyout groups and shareholder groups — in connection with the complete spectrum of merger and acquisition transactions. The practice’s experience also includes contested transactions such as unsolicited bids, tender offers, proxy contests and other changes in corporate control.
The practice has significant experience in domestic and international transactions involving publicly-owned and privately-held businesses; transactions range in value from hundreds of thousands of dollars to billions of dollars.
Among the attorneys recognized by the Legal 500 for their excellent support are Thomas Wardell, chair of the Corporate Department and Stacy Sins Ingram, partner. The Legal 500 describes itself as the world’s largest legal referral guide. Legal 500 researchers speak to thousands of law firms and commercial clients annually and all law firm recommendations come from clients.
