CMM recently closed a transaction involving the unwinding of a previously completed business acquisition in the scaffolding industry, bringing a long and difficult chapter to a successful close for our client.

In the fall of 2024, our client acquired a competing scaffolding business to supplement its existing operations. What followed was a prolonged and contentious period in which both sides disputed financial responsibility for ongoing and completed projects that were transferred as part of the transaction. Over the course of the next year, those disputes escalated, with repeated threats of litigation and potential bankruptcy filings.

CMM Partner Donald Rassiger worked strategically through the legal and operational challenges to achieve a practical resolution, culminating in the sale of the business back to its original owners. The result allowed our client to exit the transaction, mitigate risk, and move forward with certainty.

When transactions don’t unfold as planned, CMM helps clients navigate complexity and protect their interests.
