Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are among the most significant events in a company’s lifecycle. Whether expanding through acquisition or preparing to sell, these transactions require careful legal, financial, and operational planning.
At Roussos Law Group, we guide business owners, investors, and corporate officers through every stage of a merger or acquisition — from due diligence and contract negotiation to closing and post-transaction compliance. Our approach combines strategic foresight with deep knowledge of Florida corporate law, ensuring each deal is structured to protect our clients’ interests.
A merger occurs when two or more companies combine to form a single entity. An acquisition involves one company purchasing another’s stock or assets. Both processes require detailed legal documentation, regulatory compliance, and risk assessment. Under Florida law — specifically the Florida Business Corporation Act (Chapter 607, F.S.) and Florida Revised LLC Act (Chapter 605, F.S.) — mergers and acquisitions must follow formal procedures for approval, notice, and filing with the Florida Division of Corporations.
