Armstrong Teasdale Partners Jennifer Byrne and Mark Stoneman have been named to Missouri Lawyers Weekly’s 2023 Mergers and Acquisitions Power List. The list features the top 30 lawyers considered the most accomplished M&A practitioners in Missouri. The publication’s editorial team compiled the ranking based on interviews with attorneys and other leaders around the state, review of records of major deals, and archival research.

Leader of the firm’s Corporate Services practice group, Byrne provides guidance in a broad spectrum of M&A transactions throughout the deal process, from pre-transaction planning to post-closing indemnification claims and disputes. This work includes taking the lead on stock and asset purchases and dispositions, mergers, restructurings, management buyouts, tender offers, going private transactions and other related transactions. She also serves as Missouri local counsel to out-of-state entities engaged in significant transactions involving Missouri companies.

Stoneman facilitates the structuring, financing and completion of acquisitions, mergers, divestitures, joint ventures and partnerships. His background in accounting and finance helps him to ensure that the agreements related to these transactions are consistent with his client’s goals and expectations with respect to financial matters. He advises from front-end strategic planning to managing the deal process through favorable execution and closing. Stoneman’s acquisition experience extends to transactions where real estate is a primary or sole asset.

The list appears in the April 2023 issue of Missouri Lawyers Weekly.
