Mergers and Acquisitions


We provide comprehensive merger and acquisition assistance for voluntary mergers, merger conversions, voluntary supervisory conversions and federally-assisted mergers/acquisitions. Our team identifies and evaluates potential merger/acquisition candidates, performs computerized financial analysis for making strategic recommendations, prepares regulatory applications and business plans, structures and negotiates bids for financially assisted cases, and provides fairness opinions for stock institutions.  We have been involved in over 200 merger and acquisition transactions.

   
In addition, through market analysis, we identify branch offices for sale or purchase, structure the financial terms of the transactions, determine the value of core deposits, and provide analytics on the impact to both seller and buyer as required by regulators.
