Mergers and Acquisitions

The financial viability of a company may require the sale of part, or all, of its assets. Opportunities for a merger or acquisition may arise, allowing a company to preserve or increase market share, or enter new markets.
 
Harney Management Partners represents our clients in the planning, transacting and financing of mergers and acquisitions, while overseeing matters that arise out of the day-to-day operations of companies in transition.
 
HMP works closely with our clients to define priorities for the transaction, develop appropriate support documentation, identify and contact potential sellers or buyers, and assist the principals in the negotiation and closing of the transaction. The long-term success forecasted in a merger or acquisition often depends upon a well-designed consolidation project plan.
