Corporate & Securities

Our lawyers represent organizations and individuals in all types of business matters. We counsel our clients over the entire life of the business organization – from assisting the client in selecting the form of organization and organizing the business; to raising capital and financing growth; to engaging in acquisition, sale and exit transactions. In conjunction with our bankruptcy/creditor’s rights team, we also provide counseling for clients on restructuring, workouts and bankruptcy.

Our clients include a wide range of established companies  and start-ups, and we also represent directors, officers, majority/minority shareholders, members and partners in connection with employment agreements, shareholder and buy-sell agreements and other contracts, change of control issues and succession planning. We advise boards of directors and executive management on matters such as corporate governance, including board and committee make-up, decision-making processes and strategic planning. Drawing upon the experience and know-how of our tax, real estate and lending, environmental, employee benefits, intellectual property, antitrust, healthcare, estate planning, bankruptcy and litigation attorneys, our business lawyers are able to provide our clients with a wide range of services on all business matters, with a strong focus in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, securities and corporate finance and venture capital.
