PRACTICE AREA(S): Corporate Succession Planning, Mergers and Acquisitions, Real Estate, Tax, Intellectual Property, Commercial Business and Finance
CLIENT / INDUSTRY: Home Medical Products
ATTORNEY(S): Doug Neary
Situation Summary
For nearly 30 years, Calfee attorneys have cultivated a close client relationship with a company that has grown to be an industry leader in the manufacturing and distribution of home medical products. Today, the company supplies products to approximately 15,000 independent home medical equipment providers throughout the world.
Calfee Approach
Over the years, Calfee truly has served as an integral partner to the company’s management team. When the company was first in its infancy as a division of a larger company, an independent investor was determined to purchase the company. Calfee attorneys worked with the investor to negotiate the terms of the purchase, to attract and obtain additional investors and to assist in raising the additional capital needed to complete the purchase.
In the years following, Calfee assisted the company in achieving successful, strategic growth through numerous acquisitions and the expansion of its product offerings to include all major categories of home medical products. Not long after the company was initially purchased from its parent company, Calfee was instrumental in helping the newly independent company go public. The firm has continued to play a lead role in helping the company file all of its SEC reporting.
Resolution
During the course of Calfee’s relationship with the company, its attorneys have provided counsel in various corporate matters, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, tax, intellectual property and commercial finance matters. Today, the home medical products company has reached an annual sales rate in excess of $1.5 billion, and Calfee maintains its role as the company’s principal outside corporate counsel.
