Known for our expertise in mergers and acquisitions we have helped strategize transactions in the hundreds of million dollars to small business purchase and sales. Our team of experts is familiar with the many issues, complex and subtle, that are involved with transactions both large and small.

“The Mergers & Acquisitions legal team at Varner and Brandt were pivotal in helping us negotiate and close a complex and critical deal. Their approach was very commercially minded and their detailed knowledge and perspective of the retail and manufacturing sectors ensured all parties were happy with the outcome. The international nature of our deal added to its complexity, and Varner and Brandt managed this element particularly well”.
