When it comes to high-stakes, complex M&A litigation, we leverage a combination of financial, economic, and real-world expertise to successfully advise acquirers, targets, directors, management, and shareholders.

Brattle’s experience in pre- and post-closing M&A litigation includes a broad range of legal claims that require complex valuation, credit, and other financial analyses, as well as expert opinions regarding custom and practice.

We are deeply familiar with fundamental corporate finance theory as well as emerging academic research and leverage Brattle’s global network to collaborate with our colleagues and outside experts in bankruptcy and restructuring, securities, tax, antitrust, and alternative investments.
