Her practice focuses primarily on mergers and acquisitions, representing companies and fund sponsors in the purchase and sale of businesses. Caylye also provides general corporate governance advice to clients. Caylye regularly drafts and negotiates transaction documents, including non-disclosure agreements, employment agreements, purchase agreements, rollover agreements, escrow agreements, and various governing documents. She also has experience drafting and negotiating documents in connection with other corporate matters, such as debt financings, real estate transactions, incentive equity grants, and general commercial transactions.

Caylye is known for her attention to detail and client-focused approach. She enjoys taking deep dives into her clients’ businesses and guides them through the process with a “hand-in-hand” approach that clients appreciate.
