Miles & Stockbridge represented a building services client in its acquisition of a New England-based environmental systems company, expanding the client's energy and sustainability platform. The deal closed within 45 days of first sending transaction documents, addressed environmental issues at an adjacent property and used a “bolt-on” representations-and-warranties insurance product tailored to private-equity roll-up platforms.

Miles & Stockbridge represented a facilities services company in its acquisition of a provider of planning, design and build services for government agencies and contractors operating in mission-critical facilities across the Washington region.

Represented a cybersecurity and IT services provider serving credit unions and nonprofits in its acquisition by an IT services platform managed by a private equity firm for consideration of up to $30 million. The transaction included cash, rollover equity, an earnout and employment agreements, with workstreams covering corporate, tax, benefits (including a phantom equity plan), labor and employment and privacy/CUSO matters.

Miles & Stockbridge represented a distributor of electrical parts, lighting products and commercial shading solutions in a part-sale, part-rollover transaction with a private equity sponsor utilizing representations and warranties insurance, which required additional scrutiny of the seller’s diligence profile. The team navigated and resolved extensive diligence obstacles, including state sales and use tax exposures and employee benefits issues. They significantly reduced the buyer’s proposed client-transition holdback, negotiating a clean exit for two retiring partners and obtained favorable rollover equity and governance terms for the continuing partners.
