Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

With ‘deep experience’ in the M&A practice, Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP works in coordination with its capital markets and data security departments to advise on M&A due diligence, regulatory matters, and corporate restructurings. Counting mortgage and utilities companies amongst its client roster, the team’s scope of work also includes REIT M&A, energy M&A, and public and private transactions. The group is co-led by Richmond lawyer Steven Haas, who covers strategic acquisitions and divestitures, shareholder activism, and public company sales, and Washington DC-based Steven Patterson, a key contact for public and private securities offerings. In Houston, Michael O’Leary is skilled in private equity, joint ventures, and spin-offs, while Miami-based Fernando Alonso handles M&A in the finance sector, often representing foreign clients in their US acquisitions.
