WeissLaw is investigating whether Buckeye Partners' Board acted to maximize unitholder value prior to entering into the agreement by shopping for a superior proposal, and whether IFM's offer impairs BPL unitholder value.

WeissLaw is investigating whether the deal aligns with the interests of BPL unitholders.  Specifically, WeissLaw is concerned whether Buckeye Partners' Board conducted a fair process for agreeing to the proposed acquisition, whether the proposed acquisition undervalues the Company, and whether all material information related to the proposed acquisition is fully and fairly disclosed.  Specifically, WeissLaw is concerned that the proposed sale undervalues the Company.
