Areas of Practice
corporate counsel services
Businesses frequently face a wide range of legal challenges. Whether it is handling day-to-day commercial agreements, employment law issues, corporate financing, real estate leases, corporate governance, litigation management, intellectual property, or strategic ventures, we are here to help.
Start-up companies
We are frequently engaged by entrepreneurs and startup companies. We form new entities, advise on corporate structure and best practices, handle monetary, intellectual property, and "sweat equity" contributions, draft and negotiate equity-holder agreements, create employee compensation and equity incentive plans, and handle early-stage financings.
transaction services
We have a significant focus on corporate transactions, including mergers & acquisitions, debt financings, venture capital financings, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions and alliances. We bring our years of international law firm experience to all transactions we work on, no matter how large or small.
estate planning
In addition to our business transactions practice, we advise individuals and families on estate planning and business succession planning matters. This part of our practice includes structuring tax-efficient estate plans and drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. We are particularly experienced in advising owners of closely held businesses on business succession strategies.
m&A
We are particularly experienced in M&A transactions, including leveraged buyouts, private equity transactions, and strategic transactions. We've done these deals across a wide spectrum of industries, including professional services, technology, aggregates, healthcare, retail, infrastructure, and many more.
pro bono
Our firm is an active participant in the community, devoting significant time to representing those who cannot afford private counsel. Our principal pro bono practice focuses on Special Education Law, where we advise parents of students with learning disabilities of their rights under applicable federal and state law.
