Approach

Ruberto, Israel & Weiner’s Mergers & Acquisitions Group is committed to closing deals on your terms. We never lose sight of the ultimate goal – strategic, tax-efficient transactions closed on time and on budget. Our deep industry and legal experience allows us to identify, anticipate, and respond to relevant third-party and other collateral issues before they become problems or compromise a deal.

TEAM

The M&A Group consists of highly experienced transactional lawyers, some of whom are certified public accountants or hold advanced degrees in taxation. For each transaction, we assemble a team led by an M&A partner with extensive relevant experience and supported by appropriate-level associates, paralegals, and administrative staff.

When a transaction demands specialized knowledge and skills, we draw on the abilities of attorneys from other practice areas, including Tax Law, Banking, Finance & Lending, Bankruptcy, Technology, Energy, Employment, and Litigation.
