Corporate & Business Practice Group

The attorneys who staff our Corporate and Business Practice Group focus on the objectives of our clients in order to provide them with the necessary assistance to achieve their goals.  Whether the matter involves complex public company acquisitions, family business succession planning, or early stage business advice, this group of attorneys is experienced at identifying the issues, considering alternatives, anticipating problems and risks, and developing sound and intelligent solutions to help clients achieve their objectives.  We pride ourselves on being accessible to clients, both during and beyond normal working hours, as we understand that our clients’ business demands oftentimes arise outside normal business hours.  Our clients receive the responsiveness and personal attention of a small firm, while at the same time receiving the benefit of the resources, experience, and staffing capabilities of a big firm.

The Corporate and Business Practice Group assists our clients in many aspects of business transactions and matters, including general contract negotiations; vendor, supplier, and reseller agreements; licensing, advertising, and marketing agreements; employment matters; restructurings and workouts; intellectual property matters; corporate structuring, housekeeping, and governance; stockholder, operating and buy-sell agreements; venture, mezzanine and institutional financings; and all aspects of merger, acquisition, spin-off, and disposition transactions, from structuring and strategy to due diligence, negotiation, financing, documentation, and closing. 

Our attorneys approach all business transactions with an in-depth knowledge of the law and legal strategies, along with good commercial instincts, in order to provide our clients with the optimum ability to achieve desired results.  It is our belief that it is not enough to just be knowledgeable about the law.  Our clients appreciate the extra effort taken to learn and understand their businesses in order to think like seasoned businessmen and women when providing legal counsel.

The attorneys and staff in our Corporate and Business Practice Group are able to provide the broad knowledge of generalists with the keen perspective of specialists in a number of industries, including technology, telecommunications, construction, manufacturing, advertising, apparel, beverage distribution, banking, real estate development, energy, restaurant and hospitality, and health care.  We provide quality business and corporate advice and counsel in a cost-effective, practicable manner.
