Indispensable Counsel for Our Business Acquisition

When our small manufacturing company was presented with the complex opportunity to acquire a competitor, we knew we needed an attorney with a comprehensive understanding of both corporate governance and real estate. Melissa Bandy was recommended to us, and her guidance proved to be invaluable. Her 14 years of experience, particularly in commercial transactions and entity formation, gave us immediate confidence. She meticulously navigated the lending agreements, restructured our corporate entities for optimal efficiency, and handled the significant real estate components with precision. It was clear from her approach why she has been recognized in both Banking and Finance Law and Real Estate Law. Melissa didn't just review documents; she acted as a strategic partner, explaining every nuance in clear terms and anticipating issues we hadn't considered. Her professionalism at Mitchell Williams was matched by a personal commitment to our success, making a stressful process remarkably smooth. The transaction closed on schedule, and the foundation she helped us build has positioned our business for substantial growth. We consider her counsel an essential asset to our company.
