Meltzer Lippe Briefly Speaking: A Primer on M&A Transactions

What actually happens when a business decides to sell? In this episode, we walk through the lifecycle of a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deal—from the moment a client says, “I want to sell my business,” to the final closing. We break down the different types of transactions, including mergers, asset sales, and equity purchases, and discuss the key legal and strategic steps along the way. Whether you’re a business owner considering a sale or simply curious about how M&A works, this episode gives you an inside look at how deals get done.
