Axiom for Mergers and Acquisitions

Axiom matches world-class talent with legal teams to help manage the complexities and high pressure of M&A.

Let's work together

The challenge

The M&A landscape is transitioning from record highs in 2018 and 2019 to a slowdown in 2020, following worldwide economic instability. Emerging from the instability, many companies will need to rethink their business models – including divestitures, spin-offs, and acquisitions.  

Axiom lawyers’ prior M&A experience allows us to serve our clients throughout the entire deal life cycle.

Beyond the pandemic, many companies will reimagine the very core of their business. Models will change, and ‘business as usual’ when consumer demand comes back may look quite different. Some companies may need to consider what to divest and where to refocus.
