The Firm’s transactional attorneys guide the Firm’s clients through all stages of the lifecycle of a business—from start-up and structuring the entity; to raising capital; to preparing and negotiating the contracts necessary for the entity’s business; through to an exit strategy, which often involves the sale of the business.

- Formation and Maintenance: corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships.
- Capital-Raising Transactions: private placements, angel funding, and venture capital.
- Mergers and Acquisitions: stock sales, asset sales, mergers and other reorganization transactions.

- “Business Divorces”: Partner and member dissociations, shareholder disputes, and other disputes between or among business owners.
