Discuss a TransactionBackground
Escamilla Law Office advises from early transaction structure and letter-of-intent negotiations through legal due diligence, definitive documentation, financing coordination, closing and post-closing matters.
The firm’s experience includes asset and equity transactions, bank-financed acquisitions, seller financing, earnouts, retained ownership and transition arrangements.
Before entering private practice, Rick worked in investment banking and corporate finance. His prior experience included mergers and acquisitions, equity capital-markets transactions, valuation analysis, transaction materials, buyer outreach, due diligence and execution. That background informs the firm’s focus on transaction economics, allocation of risk and effective coordination among counsel, lenders, accountants and financial advisors.
