Expert guidance through a complex business acquisition

When our family-owned manufacturing business in Fort Worth was approached by a larger private equity group, we were immediately out of our depth. The proposed acquisition was complex, involving significant assets and a multi-year earn-out structure. We engaged Patrick Johnson based on a colleague's strong recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Patrick's deep knowledge of Mergers and Acquisitions Law was evident from our first meeting. He meticulously explained every clause, identified potential pitfalls we hadn't considered, and negotiated terms that protected our interests far better than the initial offer. His background in Oil and Gas Law also proved unexpectedly valuable, as he had a keen understanding of the valuation of our specialized equipment and real estate holdings. Patrick was always responsive, patient with our questions, and maintained a calm, strategic demeanor throughout the tense negotiations. His recognition by Best Lawyers was not just a title; it reflected in the quality of his work and the outstanding final agreement he secured for us. The deal closed smoothly, and we felt genuinely represented and protected at every turn. For any business transaction in Texas, Patrick K. Johnson is an exceptional attorney.
