Our Corporate, Securities and Finance attorneys provide a wide range of legal services to large and small businesses throughout their business life-cycles. These services are focused primarily on: forming and structuring business entities; governance and management arrangements; strategic contracts; regulatory compliance; financing (including venture capital and asset-based loans); and business acquisitions.
At the inception of a business or venture, we work with our clients and their other business advisors to select and structure the type of business entity - corporation, limited liability company or partnership - that will address their primary objectives with respect to management control, taxation, limitation of liability and financing.
As the business grows, we provide general counsel services and assist with control issues, tax planning, risk reduction measures, regulatory compliance programs and strategic contracting (both model and custom commercial agreements). We also help our clients with legal aspects of obtaining all types of financing required to power their growth and acquisition initiatives, including venture capital and other high risk debt and equity offerings.
Each year, the majority of our practice centers on handling our clients' most significant transactions - mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and complex financings. These transactions often involve a convergence of corporate, tax, securities, environmental, labor and employment benefit and antitrust issues. Our corporate attorneys can respond rapidly and assemble the appropriate team to handle these critical transactions.
Our business clients range from local entrepreneurs to institutional investors to national concerns. Non-profit organizations also engage us when involved in commercial ventures or an expansion or contraction of their operations. We also serve U.S. subsidiaries of companies headquartered abroad. Our corporate practice involves their domestic and international transactions (acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures) and their international tax planning and contractual negotiations.
