BUSINESS SERVICES & TRANSACTIONS

We work with each client to understand its business and tailor our legal strategies to the client’s goals throughout its business lifecycle:

Business Entities, Formation & Startup

Selecting the appropriate business structure is an important step in any new venture.  We help entrepreneurs and startups select the right entity to achieve their business goals.  We guide them in forming corporations, partnerships, limited-liability companies, professional associations, nonprofit organizations, and other business entities.  We help with initial filings and related governance documents and agreements.  We also help restructure existing businesses to meet clients’ changing business needs.

Mergers, Acquisitions & Divestitures

We have extensive experience in representing both buyers and sellers in a wide array of mergers, acquisitions, and divestures.  Whether advising on large public-company transactions or privately owned small-business acquisitions, we use our experience and creativity to achieve the client’s strategic goals.

Joint Ventures & Partnerships

Joint ventures and partnerships can take many different forms. We help clients to form and operate joint ventures and partnerships, and to understand the terms being negotiated.

Contracts

We help clients review and negotiate contracts that protect clients’ interests and minimize the risk of future disputes.  Whether drafting contracts or explaining the terms of an existing agreement, we help our clients understand and evaluate the risks associated with contractual terms.

General Business Counseling & Governance

We counsel clients on a variety of day-to-day legal issues, from the routine to the urgent and unexpected.  We work with our clients to understand their perspective so that we can offer tailored advice and solutions.

Fundraising

Our attorneys provide the legal support needed to raise money during all business phases. Our services include counseling boards and management on deal structure, preparing disclosure documents, reviewing marketing materials, crafting term sheets, and negotiating with investors.
