The lawyers in our business practice group work with all sizes and types of businesses, from small family-owned companies to large publicly-traded corporations. We provide pragmatic counseling to established businesses on day-to-day operational decisions as well as growth opportunities and exit strategies, with a focus on helping our clients maximize profits and minimize risk. We advise start-up companies on the best business structure for them, considering tax benefits, capitalization options, practical day-to-day issues and control provisions. We also advise companies of all kinds on corporate governance, the issuance and sale of securities, private placements and public offerings, securities regulations, mergers and acquisitions, and the purchase and sale of business interests. Many of our clients who do not have in-house counsel have developed such a close relationship with group members that they use our attorneys as outside general counsel, entrusting them with responsibility for all of that client's legal matters. Several members of our group have owned or run businesses, or have significant ownership interests in privately-held companies. This gives them a unique perspective on, and special understanding of, the challenges faced by business owners and entrepreneurs. Our talented team of Business Attorneys includes: |
