An Excerpt
"With the economy being as frothy as it is right now, companies are trying to figure out whether to buy or do something else with their capital," said Jason Howe, a Portland-based partner in Preti Flaherty's business and real estate practice groups. For companies thinking of buying, he recommends doing so sooner rather than later, given financial market volatility. "If they wait much longer, then it will be harder to get appraisals and go through the due diligence process."
