As principal counsel to both established and emerging companies, our business lawyers provide day-to-day advice on all aspects of our clients’ business operations and strategies. We assist them with their daily contractual requirements, help secure financing and investments, prepare for capital offerings, orchestrate mergers and acquisitions and arrange joint ventures and other partnering agreements. We also advise these clients with respect to shareholder, director and officer duties and relationships.

As smaller companies grow, we are able to provide counsel on such additional issues as real estate acquisition and development and labor and employment, including employment policies, hiring agreements, employee benefit plans and strategies to attract and retain essential executives.

We work with our clients to maximize profits from their technology assets by assisting with technology licensing and corporate partnering. Companies poised for growth also look to us to coordinate and execute their patent strategies and to audit their intellectual property assets.

When necessary, we provide litigation service support for our business clients. We advise companies on strategies for avoiding litigation, and we counsel clients on the best ways to resolve cases effectively and expeditiously. Our litigators are experienced in all areas of business and commercial litigation, as well as arbitration and administrative proceedings. Because many lawsuits settle before a hearing or trial, we pay particular attention to developing procedures and negotiations to best position our clients for possible settlements.

In sum, we advise these business owners on a broad range of business and legal issues as we strive to maintain the highest level of trust and counsel in our relationships with them.
