I'm all about getting to know each client's unique operations and structure to help position them for a successful transaction. It doesn't matter whether I'm representing an experienced sponsor or broker-dealer or a family-owned business in a once-in-a-generation transaction. The work I do requires a deep familiarity with business that clients count on for sharp, thoughtful advice and clear recommendations. I want every deal to be perfectly aligned with my clients' goals, and I work hard to make that happen. Whether it's an M&amp;A transaction or negotiating commercial contracts, each matter gets my full attention and my best work, every single time.

contentpilot/introduction

Antonia's practice centers on mergers and acquisitions, general corporate and commercial contract law — areas where she brings deep knowledge and a practical, business-minded approach. Whether clients are buying, selling, merging or planning their next growth move, Antonia knows how to guide them through the legal complexities while keeping their strategic goals in focus.

core/paragraph

Over the years, she's worked with both private and public companies across a range of industries, from closely held startups to established enterprises. Antonia understands no two deals or clients are the same, and she tailors her approach accordingly. Clients appreciate her calm, clear communication style and her ability to anticipate issues before they become problems.

Antonia also plays a key leadership role in managing the behind-the-scenes complexities of M&amp;A transactions. She oversees associates in conducting due diligence reviews and helps senior team members manage the range of documents that accompany each deal, from purchase agreements and employment agreements to operating agreements and other ancillary documents. With a sharp eye for detail and a steady hand in the process, she helps coordinate deal flow and ensures alignment along all parties involved. Antonia is experienced in working closely with external partners, including investment banks, financial advisers and other stakeholders, to keep deals on track and moving forward smoothly towards closing.

Antonia earned her Bachelor of Arts in political science with an environmental studies minor from Davidson College located in Davidson, North Carolina. She obtained her Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law where she was named to the Dean's List several semesters, was a senior member of the Detroit Mercy Law Review and was honored with the Detroit Mercy Law Fellows Award and three book awards.
