Trustworthy and Strategic Counsel

Alex Thomson exceeded all expectations during our complex business acquisition. His deep expertise in mergers and acquisitions, honed over six years at Houston Harbaugh, was evident from our first consultation. As chair of the Business Law Practice group, Alex demonstrated an exceptional command of both transactional nuances and regulatory compliance - crucial for navigating our multi-jurisdictional deal. His strategic approach to structuring the transaction minimized tax implications while protecting our operational continuity. What truly set Alex apart was his ability to explain intricate legal concepts in clear, actionable terms without oversimplifying. His proactive problem-solving during due diligence uncovered critical liabilities that could have become costly post-closing. The recognition he's earned in corporate law and COVID-19-related business adaptations proved immensely valuable as we adapted our deal terms to pandemic-era realities. Alex's dual degrees from Boston University and University of Pittsburgh reflect in his analytical precision and comprehensive service. For any business facing complex transactions, I can't recommend his counsel highly enough.
