Private Equity Investment and Business Acquisitions and Sales

We closed a seven-figure private equity investment deal working round-the-clock for 19 out of 21 consecutive days following a referral to us by another law firm to come in and assist their client (the recipient of an investment by a Canadian billionaire) by assuming conduct of the deals in mid-stream. Six other law firms in four cities across Canada were also involved, with numerous issues to be resolved from the buyout of existing shareholders, two share purchase agreements, a shareholders agreement, employment agreements, and numerous other related matters. We were up to speed quickly and efficiently, allocating resources effectively, which enabled us to help our client achieve its goals in an extremely compressed time frame. The client was impressed by our ability to jump in, get up to speed, and close back-to-back deals.
We acted on behalf of a BC software development company negotiating the terms of a $5 million dollar share purchase transaction with a US public company. Taking only six weeks, we were able to work with our client’s tax advisers to structure the deal with significant after-tax benefits to the selling shareholders. Timely services were provided for an extremely reasonable cost. Our clients were delighted.
We were contacted by a client in the software industry, asking for our help to negotiate and close a seven-figure deal involving the sale of its shares to an European public company within seven days. We worked around the clock with a nimble team ending with a marathon conference call lasting 14 hours with lawyers in three cities on two continents. Navigating a myriad of complex corporate, commercial, and intellectual property issues we were able to find practical solutions under intense time pressures and closed the deal.
