Legal Commentary

MergerTech, a San Ramon, Calif.-based investment banking firm that targets small- and midsize technology companies, has established a new practice area dedicated to legal, compliance, and information management.

"The abundance of investment capital and the rapid growth of legal technology software and service companies has created an environment of rapidly intensifying M&A transactions," says executive vice president Prashant Dubey, the leader of the new unit. "We have a number of buyer mandates from private equity firms and strategic buyers focused on applying their capital to the legal technology marketplace," advises the company, which focuses on mergers and acquisitions of tech and tech-enabled companies "from $5M to $100M in valuation."
