In this rapidly paced economy, many clients will be faced with a transformative corporate transaction, be it a merger, acquisition, business combination or restructuring.

Special committees often carry the burden of making determinative decisions in a very short time frame. Through our guidance, Dentons has successfully advised many special committees on the process and substantive issues that underlie the decision-making process.

Our lawyers’ knowledge and experience will provide you guidance to your special committees on these corporate transactions, so that they may better navigate the difficult process of developing their recommendations in connection with the transaction and effectively manage risk.
