A consummate professional who guided our complex acquisition flawlessly

Our company recently faced the daunting task of acquiring a key competitor, a process fraught with regulatory and financial complexities. We engaged Mark Burnett on the recommendation of our board, and it was the best decision we made. With over four decades of experience, his deep knowledge of corporate and securities law was immediately apparent. He didn't just execute the M&A transaction; he provided strategic counsel that shaped the entire deal structure, particularly drawing on his recognized expertise in leveraged buyouts. Mark and his team at Goodwin anticipated every hurdle, from due diligence to final integration planning. His calm, methodical approach from his Boston office instilled confidence in our entire leadership team during tense negotiations. The transaction closed on schedule and under terms more favorable than we had hoped. Mark is more than a lawyer; he is a true business partner whose guidance we will seek for all future corporate governance matters.
