As a few examples, the firm's work includes mergers and acquisitions, entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA), search fund deals, business advising and strategy considerations, contract review, negotiation, and drafting, financing and lending, HR and employment, succession planning, governance and corporate structuring, government and regulatory compliance, and much more.
