Faster, Smarter Acquisition Support – Again and Again

Nearly a decade ago, John Shepherd was looking for legal counsel with deep experience in mergers and acquisitions to help him continue to accelerate his investment practice, and was particularly interested in support from a firm that could advise on legal, business, and economics issues. JonesSpross was recommended, and John has never looked back.

Faster Deal Closing with Better Attention To Detail

To date, JonesSpross has been John’s “first stop for anything legal” across multiple businesses and on more than a dozen major acquisitions and mergers. John’s JonesSpross M&A partner, Robyn Siers, has been his ally throughout it all, helping him turn a complex process into a well-oiled machine. “Robyn knows exactly how I want to approach a deal and which parts of it will concern me the most. She knows what I want even when I’m not sure myself. We quickly got to the point where JonesSpross can prepare documents and negotiate on my behalf without needing my participation every step of the way,” explains John. This speeds the closing of Cross Street deals without sacrificing quality or attention to detail.

“I have worked with dozens of M&A attorneys from firms of all sizes and the JonesSpross practice is the best there is – not to mention the easiest to work with,”

John is especially grateful for the team’s understanding of M&A economics along with the legal and business aspects of deals – and for good reason. In one recent transaction, JonesSpross caught an 11th hour error that resulted in more than a half million dollars for Cross Street. On top of this, John notes that the JonesSpross team continues to exceed his expectations with their response time and accessibility, using their global support staff to keep projects moving 24 hours per day. While the entire firm has impressed John, JonesSpross’s M&A practice leadership has truly opened his eyes to what’s possible. “I have worked with dozens of M&A attorneys from firms of all sizes and the JonesSpross practice is the best there is – not to mention the easiest to work with,” says John.
