Bond customizes a transaction team for every transaction (whether it be a merger, acquisition, sale of a business, equity raise, joint venture, cross purchase, break-up of a business or special financing).
Every transaction team is assembled with the goal of bringing together the right professionals to achieve each client’s objectives in the most practical and efficient manner. We serve as long-standing transaction counsel to variety of clients, both publicly traded companies and private sector businesses (including closely held businesses, individuals, family offices, venture and private equity funds, not-for-profit organizations, portfolio companies, cooperatives and other organizations).
We also serve as co-transaction counsel where our role is limited to assisting other professionals with specific parts of a transaction because of our knowledge, depth and experience.
