Expert guidance on our recent business acquisition

Walter Robertson provided exceptional counsel during our company's acquisition of a local competitor. His deep knowledge of corporate finance and M&A, honed over nearly two decades, was invaluable in navigating complex negotiations. His recent recognition in banking and finance law is clearly well-deserved. While communication could occasionally be faster during peak periods, his strategic advice was always precise and commercially savvy. He and the team at Stites & Harbison ensured a smooth, secure transaction. We felt confidently represented and would engage his services again for future corporate matters.
