Osprey Capital advises clients regarding management buyouts, acquisitions, the sale of companies and divisions, recapitalizations and buy-side acquisition transactions. Selling or buying a company is one of the most important strategic decisions for a business owner. Accordingly, we begin discussions with our clients by developing an understanding of their goals and how the contemplated transaction fits these goals. We ensure that our clients are fully aware of the intricacies of the sale or acquisition process before entering into the contemplated transaction.
We also represent boards of directors and special committees of public companies for reorganizations and capital structure issues.
