Corporate Law
Businesses thrive with strong legal foundations. Whether you're launching a new venture, negotiating a complex transaction, or seeking guidance on day-to-day corporate matters, our team provides tailored legal counsel to support your company's success.
How we help businesses
For decades, we have been trusted advisors to companies across industries, guiding them through critical legal decisions. Our team assists businesses with entity formation, governance, contract negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, and compliance matters. We work closely with entrepreneurs, executives, and in-house counsel to craft legal strategies that foster stability and growth.
When challenges arise, we help companies navigate disputes, regulatory hurdles, and transactional complexities with confidence. Our proactive approach helps to prepare businesses for both opportunities and obstacles.
Business formation and governance
Starting a business is an exciting but complex process. We help entrepreneurs and business owners select the right entity structure—LLC, corporation, partnership, or nonprofit—and assist with compliance across legal requirements. From drafting operating agreements and bylaws to advising on governance best practices, we help lay the groundwork for long-term success.
For established businesses, we provide ongoing legal guidance to help manage risk and maintain compliance with evolving regulations. Our attorneys assist with corporate records, establishing appropriate documentation including articles, bylaws, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, minutes, certificates, and other documents, books, and records.
Mergers & acquisitions
Whether you're acquiring a company, merging with another business, or preparing to sell, our team offers strategic legal counsel at every stage of the transaction. We conduct due diligence, negotiate terms, draft agreements, and manage the closing process to help protect our clients’ interests.
For buyers, we help align their acquisitions with business objectives while mitigating risks. For sellers, we assist with valuation, marketing, and structuring transactions to maximize value. Our goal is to make the process smooth, efficient, and beneficial for all parties involved.
Contract negotiation and business transactions
Contracts are the backbone of any business relationship. We draft, review, and negotiate contracts to safeguard our clients' interests and foster successful partnerships. Our services include:
- Independent contractor agreements
- Shareholder and partnership agreements
- Intellectual property licensing agreements
- Sales agreements and service contracts
- Executive employment and compensation agreements
By preparing clear, well-structured contracts, we help businesses minimize disputes and maintain strong professional relationships.
Funding solutions for businesses
Securing the right funding is essential for business growth, expansion, and stability. Our attorneys assist companies in obtaining financing solutions tailored to their needs, whether through traditional bank lending, bond financing, or alternative funding sources.
For businesses seeking traditional financing, we guide clients through loan structuring and negotiations with financial institutions to secure favorable terms. Our experience also extends to bond financing, where we serve as borrower’s counsel for not-for-profit organizations looking to fund capital projects and other essential initiatives.
Beyond traditional financing, we explore alternative funding options, including venture capital, private equity, fundraising, and government grants. By assessing each client’s financial goals and risk tolerance, we help them identify the most strategic funding avenues to support their long-term success.
Outside general counsel services
Many businesses require ongoing legal support but do not have an in-house legal team. Our outside general counsel services provide cost-effective legal solutions tailored to your needs. Whether you need assistance with regulatory compliance, risk management, or routine legal questions, our attorneys act as trusted advisors to help keep your business on track.
