Partners David J. Kaufman and Nathan Viehl authored a St. Louis Business Journal article on how sellers have an increased interest in performing their due diligence on the buyer in a merger or acquisition transaction. The article is part of the firm’s sponsorship for the Business Journal’s St. Louis Inno program – a digital hub on the city’s local innovation.
