Expert Insights on Mergers & Acquisitions

An acquisition is when one company takes over another and clearly established itself as the new owner. A merger happens when two firms, often of about the same size, agree to go forward as a single new company rather than remain separately owned and operated. Both companies' stocks are surrendered and new company stock is issued in its place.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Mergers & Acquisitions via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
