Corporate Law and Business Transactions

Our clients come from an expansive spectrum of small businesses and larger corporations.

Today’s new business models require lightweight and agile service. With that, we add a level of practicality born from hard-earned experience. When your business needs to scale quickly, our straightforward, creative approach and guidance can help you adapt effectively in a reasonable timeframe.

No two businesses are the same. That’s why we use industry-specific factors to inform our approach to business transactions and corporate law. Advising directors, officers, and shareholders is a cornerstone of our firm's practice. And it’s been that way for well over a century.. With a keen eye on the ever-evolving business and corporate law landscape, we also advise on changes that can affect the way our clients do business.

We draw from our extensive experience and expertise in a variety of areas, including:

  • Acquisitions and mergers
  • Purchase and sale of shares or assets of a business
  • Franchising
  • Joint ventures and partnerships
  • Reorganizations
  • Debt restructuring
  • Intellectual property protection and transfer
  • Leasing agreements
  • Commercial contracts
  • Annual corporate compliance
  • Corporate meetings
