Printing

The lawyers who work within the printing industry have significant experience in working with owners of commercial sheet-fed and web offset printing companies, prepress and color separation trade shops and publishing companies. This experience also includes the sale of such companies to publicly owned printing conglomerates. In addition to such transactions, we also have counseled owners and management in securities, employment, labor, tax benefits, real estate, environmental and corporate governance matters.

Specific examples of our printing industry background include:

• Representation of the management of a holding company with five subsidiaries (which own weekly shoppers, suburban newspapers and commercial printers) in a buyout of all the capital stock of its holding company, a publicly owned British company.
• Representation of a printing company in the negotiations and completion of a multimillion-dollar credit facility with a New York-based lender.
• Representation of the stockholders of a sheet-fed printing company in the sale of its capital stock to a publicly owned, New York Stock Exchange listed company.
• Negotiations of employment and stock option agreements for the remaining senior management when bought by a larger printing company.
• Regular collaboration with Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF) on legal matters affecting printers and their industry.
