Expert guidance through a complex business acquisition

I engaged Chris Hall at Perkins Coie to advise on the acquisition of a local manufacturing company. With nearly three decades of experience, his deep knowledge of corporate finance and M&A was immediately apparent. He guided us through the intricate due diligence and structuring of the transaction with a steady hand, and his recognition in the field, including the Lawyer of the Year award, is clearly well-deserved. Chris has a talent for explaining complex legal concepts in practical business terms, which was invaluable for our board. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in receiving non-urgent email responses, likely due to his demanding caseload. However, when it mattered during negotiations, he was always fully present and strategically sharp. For anyone in Portland navigating a significant corporate transaction, Chris provides exceptional, seasoned counsel.
