When is the right time for an acquisition?

The right time to acquire a business could arrive at any moment. Distressed businesses may be available relatively quickly via a Section 363 sale, such as in the case of Alamo Drafthouse or Paper Source. Traditional M&A transactions, such as the Birkenstock acquisition or the Einstein merger with Jefferson, may take more time to finalize.
 
If you are contemplating a transaction, or dealing with post-closing issues and disputes, the professionals at Asterion are available to assist you.
