Private Equity Sale & Investment Rollover
Chico & Nunes supported a substantial Texas-based professional services business in developing and executing an exit strategy. Our services included working with the client to identify and negotiate the terms of investment banking representation, evaluating bids from prospective purchasers, and negotiating the transaction documents for a substantial nine-figure sale to a private equity fund-backed platform company. The transaction included continuing equity participation by the management team.

Our corporate law attorneys helped a Nevada-based professional services company in its sale to a private equity-backed platform company. The transaction involved the rollover of a portion of the ownership teams’ investment in the company and raised significant issues regarding valuation and the components of the purchase price consideration. The transaction was referred to Chico & Nunes from the client’s financial advisor, who was familiar with our work.

Growth Acquisition and Subsequent Sale to a Public Company
Chico & Nunes represented a Chicago-based WBE, MBE, and DBE certified, professional services company in a substantial strategic acquisition of another professional services company. We subsequently represented this client in its sale to a publicly-owned company in a transaction that included the receipt of public securities as part of the consideration and provided for the continuing involvement of the client management team.

Search Fund Purchase
Chico & Nunes represented a Chicago-based materials testing laboratory in its sale to a search fund purchaser. Our expertise was critical to the success of this transaction in two key ways: our understanding of the nature of the purchasing entity, and assisting in the structuring and negotiating of achievable earnouts to maximize the value of the transaction to our client.

Asset Sale with Government Contracts
Our attorneys advised a Chicago-based MBE/WBE professional services firm on its sale to a local MBE firm engaged in the same industry. The transaction was structured as an asset sale and involved the transfer of important government contracts that were awarded based on the certifications of the seller. Through our extensive understanding of government regulations and certification programs, we were able to work with the client to obtain the necessary consents in a timely manner and preserve the value of the seller’s contract base.

Multi-Jurisdiction Sale
Our corporate attorneys worked with a California-based specialized DBE engineering company in its sale to another DBE company. Because our client operated nationally and was certified in several jurisdictions, we were tasked with developing and implementing a nationwide strategy to preserve the business’s certifications.

Intergenerational Transfer of Ownership
Our corporate law attorneys worked with a substantial family-owned company in a generational transfer of ownership. The transaction was structured to meet the unique objectives of the family by transferring ownership over a planned transition period.
