Davis Polk is regularly involved in the largest and most complex M&A deals of the day. Clients – longstanding and new, large and small, global and domestic – come to us when the scope and strategic importance of a transaction calls for Davis Polk.
We have a long history of innovation and creative problem-solving. Our prominent role in the unprecedented transactions of the financial crisis, including those involving Citigroup, AIG, Morgan Stanley and Banco Santander, showcased the strength of the firm and deepened our perspective of the evolving conditions of the market and challenges to our clients.
Our M&A lawyers bring sophisticated judgment, advice and client service to high-stakes transactions, including public and private deals, private equity transactions, divestitures, joint ventures, carveouts, friendly and contested situations, leveraged buyouts and other types of M&A transactions. Equally important is our ability to offer the same high level of proficiency across a broad spectrum of other disciplines that are critical to achieving success on these multi-faceted and possibly contentious matters, such as antitrust and competition, tax, acquisition financing, capital markets, executive compensation and employee benefits, litigation, intellectual property, environmental and such regulatory fields as economic sanctions, anti-bribery and Exon-Florio laws.
