Financial Advisory Services
McGuireWoods represents some of the world’s largest investment banks and financial advisory firms, as well as top mid-market firms and premier boutiques. Our financial advisory team includes some of the firm’s top corporate, securities and financial services lawyers, several of whom formerly were in-house counsel or investment bankers at top financial institutions and financial services providers.
The McGuireWoods financial advisory team assists in all aspects of the engagement, such as drafting and negotiating engagement letters and indemnification agreements, reviewing and commenting on transaction documents, drafting opinions and descriptions of the financial analyses underlying those opinions in documents to be filed with the SEC, helping clients respond to requests from FINRA, and assisting with any litigation that may arise in the course of the engagement.
Our attorneys draw on the resources of our international firm — including the experience of McGuireWoods’ corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, cross-border transactions, restructuring and litigation practices — to provide comprehensive, coordinated guidance to financial advisory firms and investment banks. Firm lawyers also provide guidance on general corporate issues, such as fiduciary duties, disclosure philosophy and compliance with federal securities law.
McGuireWoods’ financial advisory services team has been recognized by Corporate Control Alert as a top 15 financial advisory practice for its representation of the bulge bracket, the top mid-market firms and premier boutique investment banks in rendering fairness, solvency and valuation opinions.
