What we say about the firm's legal practice in United States
Mergers, acquisitions and buyouts
Within M&A: middle-market (sub-$500m), tier 4
At West Mountain-based law practice Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, the M&A group works with both private and public companies in a variety of transactional contexts, its mandates ranging from small, negotiated asset transfers to leveraged buy-outs, large-scale acquisitions and dispositions, and corporate reorganizations. Working with the firm’s other corporate and business practice groups, the practice provides counsel for bankruptcy and restructuring issues, and regularly coordinates with the private equity group to offer a full range of transactional law services. With a strong government relations practice, the firm also frequently acts in government-related matters. Denver-based Kevin Cudney co-chairs the corporate and business group. Cudney represented Graham Packaging, a portfolio company of Blackstone Capital Group and a world leader in customized consumer product packaging solutions, in its $568m acquisition of Liquid Container, a leading producer of food packaging, and acted for Western Liberty Bancorp in its $20m acquisition of Service1st Bank of Nevada. Cudney also advised Denver-based Classic Sport Companies in the $15.5m sale of its business to Kever Sports Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of New Jersey-based Sportcraft. Daniel Jablonsky joined the Denver office as shareholder in its corporate and business group from Flextronics International, a Global Fortune 400 electronics manufacturing services provider, and where he was interim co-general counsel.
