Corporate & Finance

Akin’s corporate team partners with many of the world’s most sophisticated investors, public and private companies, boards of directors and individuals.

In New York, we regularly counsel private equity and other investment funds and public and private companies on complex mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions and financings. We have extensive experience with public company M&A, buyouts and other private equity investments, distressed transactions, shareholder activist campaigns and company defenses, and fund restructuring transactions.

Our capital markets team advises on public and private debt offerings, including initial and secondary public offerings, shelf registrations and takedowns, offerings of investment-grade, high-yield and convertible debt, tender offers, exchange offers and consent solicitations, Rule 144A/Regulation S offerings, and traditional private placements. We also have a long track record of advising on transactions involving special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs).

We advise on complex financings, including distressed and other special-situations investments, and acquisition financings. We work with many of the world’s most active credit investors on their financing activities, and we regularly perform risk arbitrage work to help them analyze those investments.

We act as outside general counsel and strategic advisor to public companies and their boards, advising on business strategy, complex governance issues and transactions. This includes advice to companies that have emerged from a bankruptcy or out-of-court restructuring, helping them to establish their governance programs, structure their financing and execute their business strategies.
