The Business Practice Group at Buckingham has a very strong regional reputation for its representation of closely-held, middle market businesses and the mergers, acquisitions and tax focus of many of its practitioners.  Core tax expertise is diminishing in many regional firms, but is an essential focus of Buckingham’s business practice.  Buckingham has developed deep proficiency in the structuring and negotiation of mergers and acquisitions transactions on a regional and national basis.
