Experience highlights
[Click on a item to view]
We counseled the Lexington, KY-based tech giant in more than 10 transactions over the last 2 years, including a cross-border acquisition of Luxembourg-based BDGB Enterprise Software and Australian-based ISYS. The $280 million acquisition of Kansas City software company Perceptive Software, Inc., bolstered Lexmark’s enterprise-content management offerings. Lexmark also enhanced their document imaging and data integration when they purchased the Boston-based company, Nolij. Because we understood Lexmark’s acquisition goals, we were able to work more efficiently in closing each of these transactions, and our client was able to accomplish their growth strategies.
We advised one of the world’s leading providers of printing and business communication solutions throughout their purchase of Workflow One, a print management and distribution company. We helped facilitate the transaction by advising on real estate and other aspects of the acquisition. Standard Register states that it now can enhance its products and services to customers, while also adding flexibility and stability for the company moving forward. The transaction also enables the client to increase its presence in its target markets. Standard Register is now the seventh largest printing company in North America with an entire portfolio of $1 billion.
We provide ongoing general counsel services to Cincinnati-based LCNB Corporation, on matters including securities law compliance, SEC reporting, corporate governance, bank regulatory compliance, insurance compliance, executive compensation, employee benefits and employment law compliance. Additionally, we provide general counsel services to the Trust Department of LCNB National Bank, and we also represented the company with respect to receiving TARP moneys from the Federal Government.
Our role includes advising on 33 and 34 Act filings and corporate governance, including advising on board composition and charters for various board committees.
