Ms. West and Mr. Whitney have extensive experience in business and real estate transactions. Because of the number of deals they have structured, negotiated, and documented, they know how to put a deal together. The firm also represents private and public companies in both stock and asset acquisitions, sales, corporate reorganizations, and private placements.

Ms. West has closed over $3 billion in mergers and acquisitions in the hotel, restaurant, and retirement facility industries, and assisted with approximately $2 billion in secured financing transactions. She has formed over 200 corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies, often for developers who intend to invest in real estate.

Mr. Whitney closed the sale of two major business segments at GenCorp representing revenue of approximately $1 billion. Prior to GenCorp, he closed over 160 private and public acquisitions for Tyco International Ltd., ranging in size from $100 thousand to $9.5 billion.
