Business Transactions
An effective business attorney combines a commitment to exceptional service with good judgment, common sense, and a practical approach to achieving results for clients. The business law attorneys at Carlile, Patchen & Murphy have extensive experience with all forms of business transactions, from routine formation to complex merger and acquisitions (M & A) transactions. We also strive to ensure our Ohio clients know the transaction process at issue. For example, the sale of a client’s business is often the first and only sale transaction in which a client engages. We recognize and understand this new and perhaps even frightening undertaking by the client at the outset and advise and guide our clients accordingly.
Our Business Law Transactions scope includes:
• Mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations (including tax-free reorganizations)
• Joint ventures and strategic alliances
• Business formations
• Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
• Public and private securities offerings
• Intellectual/intangible property transfers and licenses
• Commercial lending
• Establishment of franchises or distributorships
• International matters
• Asset sales and purchases
• Equity sales and purchases
• Leveraged buyouts
• Recapitalizations
• Spin-offs/split-offs
At Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP, our Columbus-based business attorneys have represented clients in virtually every type of business and financial transaction. We offer cost-effective and pragmatic business law & business transaction solutions for transaction-based planning and avoid wasting time on obscure technical points or unreasonable bargaining positions. We act quickly and effectively to help our clients negotiate the entire transaction rather than just advising on legal points. Our business transaction attorneys understand that our client’s primary objective is to “complete the deal.”

Mergers and Acquisitions
Whether the markets are up or down, whether the economy is expanding or contracting, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are an essential growth strategy for any company. At Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP, our experienced M&A lawyers help guide businesses through M&A transactions.
Our clients look to us for assistance with every aspect of a complex transaction, including financing, regulatory approval, due diligence, deal structure, tax analysis and planning, and post-acquisition operations.
The planning and implementation of M&A transactions require the coordination of a variety of legal skills. Our attorneys have assisted in transactions involving matters as small as the sale of a single car wash to matters as complex as leveraging buyouts involving more than one billion dollars.
Business Restructuring
A common implication of “reorganization” is that it is designed to address a situation of financial distress. Our view at Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP is that such a perspective is overly narrow, and in most cases, inaccurate. As companies grow, they may face a time when they desire to or must undertake a reorganization transaction. The purpose of business restructuring can be to better position the company for any number of changing circumstances or to pursue new opportunities.
Joint Ventures
We recognize that joint ventures and strategic alliances are commonplace in today’s business environment. When properly executed, these types of business arrangements can lead to multiple economic and financial benefits.
The attorneys at Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP help our clients to be in the best position to realize their objectives when forming a joint venture or entering a strategic alliance.
Economic Development Incentives
Real estate development projects often depend on the implementation of a wide array of federal, state, and local government incentives—from grant programs to bond financings. The attorneys at Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP develop creative incentive structures that are specific to each project and navigate clients through existing incentive programs and custom discretionary economic incentives, creating favorable environments for successful project development.
Whether you are a for-profit or non-profit developer for end-users of industrial, affordable housing, and commercial projects, our real estate development attorneys help position our clients’ projects for maximum local, state, and federal assistance.
