Fairness Opinions
Merger & Acquisition deals are being challenged by shareholders at an increasing rate. Any dissenting shareholder group poses a risk to the success of a transaction. A Fairness Opinion is typically obtained by the board of directors, a special committee, a board of managers, or general partner, for the purpose of satisfying its fiduciary duty of care and supporting its decision under the business judgment rule.
