Expert guidance through a complex commercial acquisition

Our company recently navigated a multi-million dollar acquisition of a regional competitor, a process fraught with intricate financing structures and complex due diligence. We engaged Chris Blake at Hahn Loeser & Parks based on his recognized expertise in mergers and acquisitions and commercial finance law. From our first meeting in his Columbus office, Chris demonstrated a command of the details that immediately instilled confidence. His background, blending a sharp legal mind from Cleveland Marshall with a nuanced understanding of business, was evident. He didn't just review documents; he anticipated potential pitfalls in the financing agreements and real estate holdings involved, crafting solutions that protected our interests while keeping the deal on track. Chris’s professionalism was matched by his personal approach—he was always accessible and explained every step in clear terms, never resorting to unnecessary legalese. The transaction closed successfully and on schedule, a direct result of his diligent and strategic counsel. For any Ohio business facing a significant corporate or financial transaction, I cannot recommend Chris Blake highly enough.
