This merger and acquisition newsletter and the merger and acquisition consulting services offered by Stephen N. Elias and Associates are oriented toward the basic needs of those people actually involved with deals, whether on a regular or occasional basis. It attempts to offer assistance to both buyers and sellers. It treats with the "hows" and "whys" of deals, and hopefully provides readers with the benefit of one individual's wide experience, gained over more than 35 years as buyer, seller, consultant and sometime intermediary.
