Alan Perkins focuses his practice on all types of corporate and securities transactions. He often represents privately and closely held companies, as well as public companies, private equity firms and hedge funds, in a wide variety of industry sectors throughout the United States. Alan’s clients typically are middle market companies, and he serves as the lead mergers and acquisitions attorney in approximately ten M&A transactions annually, with enterprise values most often ranging from $30 million to $200 million or more. He also frequently represents special committees of boards of directors in various matters, and senior executives in connection with employment and severance arrangements. Alan is consistently recognized as a leading corporate and M&A lawyer by publications such as Chambers USA, which refers to him as “a great business lawyer” who “knows how to get through the issues” and highlights that his clients appreciate his negotiation skills and common-sense approach. Other publications that have recognized Alan include The Best Lawyers in America© and Texas Super Lawyers. Alan developed his practical business experience and judgment while working during his pre-college years for his family’s food service distribution business, and later serving for over 30 years on its board. Today, his clients appreciate his candor and responsiveness, as well as his ability to simplify complex issues, find logical solutions and reach mutually beneficial compromises. These skills often result in opposing principals and lawyers in a transaction referring future matters to him.
