Arthur routinely represents private equity and strategic buyers, sellers, and investors in middle-market transactions, and has advised clients in over 60 transactions during his time at the firm. As a result, Arthur is a go-to M&A attorney with a strong understanding of numerous industry-specific issues in a wide range of industries, including software/technology, manufacturing, aerospace, health care, life sciences, and innovative consumer technologies. Arthur is also one of a limited number of attorneys with experience representing buyers and sellers in transactions in which the target company is partially- or wholly owned by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and is well-versed in the unique issues and considerations posed by these transactions from both a buyer and seller perspective.
In addition to his M&A expertise, Arthur’s general corporate law experience is broad-based, and he routinely represents clients with company formation, capital raising, equity holder agreements, employee and consulting agreements, commercial arrangements, licensing agreements, joint ventures, strategic planning, and other business contracts and agreements.
