Viona M. Duncan

Exceptional guidance through a complex corporate acquisition

Our mid-sized tech firm was navigating its first significant acquisition, a process that felt daunting from the outset. We engaged Viona Duncan at Gowling WLG based on a strong recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our initial consultation in her Nashville office, Viona demonstrated a command of the intricate details that govern mergers and acquisitions, seamlessly blending her deep knowledge of corporate law with a sharp understanding of the information technology sector's unique nuances. Her four years of focused experience belie a strategic acumen that feels far more seasoned. Viona meticulously guided us through every stage—from conducting thorough due diligence on the target's IP assets to negotiating terms that protected our core interests while fostering a viable partnership. Her approach was both proactive and pragmatic; she anticipated potential regulatory and integration hurdles we hadn't even considered, crafting solutions in advance. The transaction closed smoothly and on schedule, a direct result of her disciplined project management and clear communication. While her recent accolades in Mergers and Acquisitions Law speak for themselves, experiencing her dedicated, client-focused service firsthand is what truly sets her apart. We emerged from this pivotal business event not only with a successful deal but with immense confidence in our legal counsel. We will undoubtedly turn to Viona for our future corporate legal needs.
