Mergers and acquisitions are our major specialty. Over the past nineteen years we’ve worked closely with clients in completing dozens of transactions (Case Study). We’ve also bought and sold seven graphic arts companies of our own, so we bring a hands-on view of mergers and acquisitions to the process. Whatever clients’ reasons for interest in a transaction, we provide practical insights and the kind of hands-on experience that can make a real difference in the result.

Our firm has presented seminars throughout North America on merger-related topics, and Bob Rosen has long been the industry’s most widely-quoted authority on mergers. He is the author of the industry-standard reference book, Mergers and Acquisitions: A Printer’s Handbook. His articles on mergers have appeared in virtually every major industry publication.

Our operating experience helps us to identify solid operating fits between companies, and we’re experienced at representing both buyers and sellers. We think this makes us more effective, since we understand transactions from both points of view. Because we understand owners’ concerns we can effectively resolve many issues where outsiders are frequently unsuccessful. We’ve proven unusually creative in overcoming obstacles that stand in the way of a deal – particularly in bridging gaps between buyers’ and sellers’ view of a business’s value.
