Our Mergers & Acquisitions, Real Estate, Banking & Financial Institutions, and General Corporate & Business practice groups had a busy first half of 2021!
We were fortunate to continue to work with our clients as trusted advisors to guide them through any of their needs with mergers, acquisitions, financings, real estate, and other transactions. From consulting with clients to leading a team of investment bankers, accountants, and advisors, FMJ worked diligently to achieve our clients desired results. We were also awarded the high honor of being listed in Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, a leading annual legal guide identifying the top attorneys and law firms in the U.S.
Below is a sampling of some of our biggest transactions of the year so far:
- Represented the buyer in a complex multi-million dollar asset purchase of a Minnesota car dealership and service center and the underlying purchase of the real estate. This transaction included a review of lease agreements, license agreements, and other pertinent contracts and fully supporting the client through the arduous task of getting both Minnesota dealership licensing approval and manufacturer licensing approval.
- Represented a Midwest leading EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation company in the multi-million dollar sale of its company. FMJ worked to negotiate the best possible terms and price for our client. An important part of this transaction was the business owner working for the buyer in a part-time consultant role after the transaction closed. The team skillfully negotiated the scope and terms of the business owner staying with the company as a part-time consultant and provided insight on a negotiated lease owned by our client to the buyer.
- Represented a private investment firm in the acquisition of a manhole shield manufacturer. FMJ navigated difficult real estate lease negotiations, an environmental issue, and negotiated loan documents.
- Represented a school and shuttle bus manufacturing company in the sale of its business to a strategic buyer specializing in transportation technology. Prior to closing, our client and another unrelated entity had to distribute assets to their respective owners to invest in a newly formed joint venture and integrated operations in short order. The transaction involved three significant corporate structuring steps among four unrelated parties that were all represented by counsel.
- Represented a Midwest investment fund in the purchase of multi-million dollars of business assets of an equipment distributor specializing in hydraulic truck equipment, including aerial devices, power systems, loaders, street sweepers, and other similar equipment. FMJ also assisted with the post-closing leasing of real estate.
