Overview
Leader by Volume, Strength in the Middle Market
Each year, Holland & Knight's Mergers and Acquisitions Team helps close more than 625 M&A transactions. Although we have experienced significant growth handling mega-market transactions, Holland & Knight excels within the middle market (up to $500 million) arena. Clients value our team's creative, innovative approach as well as our dedication to fostering long-term partnerships and the ability to effectively navigate the complex business and legal issues that arise in middle-market transactions.
