Corporate acquisitions, divestitures or joint-venture transactions are part and parcel of today’s competitive economy. However, all carry a host of complex—and sensitive—workplace issues. At Seyfarth Shaw, our attorneys are highly skilled at managing those issues in a manner that protects companies’ financial interests, employee relations, and public image. We have particular experience uncovering the hidden liabilities of target employers, and we frequently serve as “special ERISA counsel” in such matters, even when our firm is not handling the corporate law aspects of the transaction.
