Our firm’s corporate counsel is fully versed in the legal requirements and best practices for forming, funding, governing, operating and growing privately held ventures from day one through a fruitful exit, whether they are start-ups, emerging companies, turnarounds, institutionally backed portfolio companies, family operated businesses or middle-market businesses. We counsel our clients as they advance along each stage of their trajectory in all matters, both big and small, to ensure they meet their immediate and long-term objectives. We are adept at strategizing, negotiating and documenting “deal making” for both friendly deals that call mostly for collaboration and more adversarial deals that require a hardnosed tactician. We bring to our corporate clients our experience and perspective not just as attorneys but also as operators once ourselves of ventures such as yours, such that we appreciate how to balance best legal practices and practical business operations to obtain optimal outcomes.
