An indispensable guide for our company's complex acquisition

When our family-owned manufacturing business was presented with the opportunity to acquire a key competitor, the complexity was daunting. We needed counsel who understood not just the transaction, but the long-term implications for our closely-held structure. Alan Fershtman was precisely that advisor. His deep, three-decade experience, particularly his focus on representing entrepreneurs, was evident from our first meeting. He meticulously guided us through every phase—structuring the financing to be tax-efficient, navigating due diligence on the real estate assets, and ensuring the final sale agreement protected our interests for the future. His recognition as a multiple-time 'Lawyer of the Year' in Cincinnati wasn't just an accolade on a website; it translated into a strategic, calm, and utterly reliable partnership. Alan and his team at KMK didn't just complete a deal; they built a framework for our company's next chapter. For any entrepreneur facing a significant transaction, his blend of corporate and tax acumen is exceptional.
