Mergers & Acquisitions

The members of CSG’s Corporate & Securities Group are dealmakers – bringing creative problem solving strategies informed by an intimate knowledge of each client’s business and industry.

The Group was recently recognized as one of New Jersey’s “Dealmakers of the Year” by the New Jersey Law Journal after successfully serving as deal counsel on more than 30 buy and sell-side transactions with a combined value exceeding $1 billion.
