Acquiring Troubled US Companies - Limiting Legal Risk

Here is the first page of our updated article published this month in India.

Let me know if you are aware of a US company in need of an investor or that is in search of a buyer - we are being asked by our contacts in India to pass-on opportunities that may be a good fit for an Indian buyer.

The investment range can be as low as a few million dollars and into the US$20 million range - on the small side but often overlooked by intermediaries. Feel free to contact me (David Laverty) directly at 312 575 0601 or at laverty@internationalcounsel.com.


Foreign Corporate Buyers of Troubled US Companies

Yes, there are excellent values among US companies that make this a very attractive time for those foreign buyers with the capital to acquire and invest. Yet, can a foreign corporate buyer hope to fully understand and participate in the process of purchasing a troubled US company?

Yes, with the proper advisers. The following video interview takes this a step further - why not partner with an experienced distressed investor? Jonathan Rosenthal of Saybrook Capital LLC offers his views on such partnering opportunities - taken from this month's TMA distressed investing conference in Las Vegas.
