Corporate

Our transaction team counsels clients of different sizes in every stage of business evolution – from entity formation and related start-up activities to commercial contracts, mergers, acquisitions, recapitalizations, reorganizations and investment exits. Our attorneys understand the critical business issues clients face and deliver results with speed and efficiency.

We represent a broad range of clients, including individual entrepreneurs, privately held businesses, private equity and venture funds and publicly traded companies. Our attorneys lead stock and asset acquisitions and divestitures, mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, business disputes, management and leveraged buyouts and other business combinations for strategic and financial buyers, sellers, lenders and management groups.

We routinely counsel issuers of, and investors in, alternative investments such as private equity funds, real estate partnerships, joint ventures and a variety of other specially tailored investment structures. In these unique transactions, we apply our collective creativity and business acumen to craft workable solutions that enable our clients to achieve success. Additionally, we counsel clients with respect to its regulatory obligations under federal securities laws, including but not limited to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We understand that our clients are focused on financial and strategic goals and appreciate compliance obligations to offer meaningful solutions. We provide guidance on all manners of corporate governance issues, including officer and director duties and responsibilities, shareholder rights, employee compensation and SEC reporting obligations.

Business does not exist in a vacuum and we believe that in order to properly counsel our clients, we must consider related legal issues. We bring real estate, litigation, labor and employment and tax expertise, delivering the comprehensive service our clients demand and deserve. We also work with a network of outside special counsel domestically and abroad in managing our clients’ legal needs.
