    Introduction

    Anthony Bova is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Corporate Transactions practice group. Anthony focuses his practice on a wide range of corporate matters, including public and private mergers and acquisitions, corporate formation and start-up structuring, private equity considerations, contract drafting and analysis, strategic guidance and business counseling, and many other commercial transactions.

    My focus

    General Corporate

    I counsel public and private companies of all sizes, both here in the United States and abroad, in a variety of industries, including healthcare, emerging technologies, food and beverage (with a particular focus on alcoholic beverages), manufacturing, distribution, and numerous professional services. I advise my clients on all aspects of their business, from early-stage needs, such as formation and governance considerations, equity incentive planning, financing, regulatory compliance, and contract drafting and analysis, to mid- and later-stage needs such as capital raising (debt and equity), spin-offs, divestitures, and exit events.

    I take special pride in representing family-run businesses, as I myself grew up in a four-generation family-run business in Boston’s North End.

    Mergers and Acquisitions

    I regularly represent strategic and private-equity buyers and sellers in a wide array of corporate mergers and acquisitions. My particular focus is on the middle market, navigating deals with a total enterprise value between a few million dollars and hundreds of millions of dollars. Regardless of transaction size, my focus is on achieving my client’s goals, optimizing the manner in which we achieve them, and finding practical ways to jump over inevitable hurdles.

    Food and Beverage

    For years I have represented local, national, and international alcoholic beverage companies in all three tiers—production, distribution, and retail—in a variety of matters involving licensing, wholesaler franchise-protection, compliance and risk-management, contractual preparation, and executive employment.

    Looking ahead

    The M&A outlook is positive for some, as businesses are attracting high valuations while owners mull retirement. Buyers will continue to see distressed pricing for acquisitions of companies that survived but did not thrive during the COVID-19 years.
