Our goal is to be an integrated part of your management team, whether you’re looking for assistance with a single transaction or outside counsel on an ongoing basis. We measure our success by yours: offering a wide range of legal services to business and corporate clients, ranging from sole proprietorships to mid-sized companies.
We tailor our services to fit your legal needs and budget. A representative sample of the business services we offer includes:
- Formation; we can help you pick the best form of business for your needs, draft the corporate documents, bylaws, minutes and any other formation paperwork as well as assist with filing;
- Governance; we can advise you on a range of legal issues your business may encounter – and create documents like policy manuals and employee, vendor or licensing agreements before you need them – so your infrastructure is ready when you are;
- Financial Transactional Services; Whether you’re a purchaser, seller or target, we can assist you with buyouts, private placements, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions;
- Strategic Planning; We’ll work with you to anticipate disputes, as well as identify and minimize risks, that may lead to litigation. And as experienced litigators, we also work with an eye toward creating the best possible record, so when disputes do arise, our clients are in the best possible position to litigate if absolutely necessary;
- For mature businesses, sometimes the time comes to sell, transfer to family, or close the doors. We’ll help you through the transition from beginning to end, and work to find the best solution for you.
