ABOUT RICK OLIVER
I concentrate practice in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, private equity, securities law and general corporate matters in a variety of industries. I have represented acquirers, targets, private equity funds and financial advisors in significant transactions, including public and private acquisitions and divestitures, negotiated and contested public acquisitions, distressed company acquisitions, real estate transactions, internal reorganizations and other corporate matters. I also counsel firm clients on joint ventures and other strategic alliances. In recognition of my work, I have been repeatedly ranked by Chambers USA and was noted by MergerLinks as the Top Advisor Lawyer on its 2024 Top Dealmakers list. In addition, The National Law Journal previously named me a D.C. Rising Star.In certain jurisdictions this may be considered attorney advertising.
