Our corporate and business practice provides end-to-end counsel to companies and their leadership across all stages of growth, from individuals and early-stage ventures to enterprise-level private and public entities. We structure and negotiate complex commercial transactions and guide clients through a multitude of operational and strategic issues, including contract drafting, compliance planning, regulatory analysis, and long-term risk management across a wide range of industries.

Our experience in high-stakes corporate and fiduciary litigation directly informs our transactional work. We have extensively litigated disputes arising from poorly drafted and ambiguous transactional documents, breaches of commercial agreements, unclear management authority, and failed business relationships. That experience gives us a practical understanding of how agreements are interpreted, challenged, and enforced, allowing us to identify potential areas of conflict and address them during the drafting and negotiation process so that those outcomes can be avoided. This same perspective shapes the advice we give to directors, officers, and other fiduciaries regarding fiduciary duties, conflicts of interest, shareholder and partnership disputes, and governance through distressed matters.

We also serve as outside general counsel to clients seeking ongoing, practical guidance regarding contracts, corporate governance, compliance, employment issues, commercial relationships, and strategic business decisions.

Our corporate transactional work includes:

• Operating, Partnership, and Shareholder Agreements

• Purchase and Sale Agreements

• Mergers & Acquisitions

• Private Equity & Venture Capital

We also understand that clients value predictability in legal spending. For matters with a reasonably defined scope, flat-fee arrangements may be available. Other matters may be billed hourly or under another agreed arrangement, depending on the nature and complexity of the engagement.
