May the Fourth be with you as you prepare to celebrate Cinco de Mayo out on the town or at home, making some of these recipes.
On
the Lighter Side
Jeni’s
Ice Cream shops are opening in Philadelphia, nickel hot dogs are
back at Nathan’s

M&A,
Home Improvement Edition
Herman
Miller has acquired Montgomery County, PA rival Knoll, and Lowe’s
has purchased the Stainmaster
Carpet brand. Maybe the home improvement sector has done well
because everyone has been home so long they’re tired of their uncomfortable
chairs and the spots on their carpets from all those pandemic puppies.
Our experts are experienced in working with M&A
matters. If you are seeking help with a pending transaction, or need to correct
one that went bad, Asterion can help.
Class
Action Settlements

settlement values.
If you are involved in a class action and considering a
potential settlement, Asterion can assist in analyzing the financial aspects of
the proposal.
