About

Provided by Fafinski Mark & Johnson, P.A.

FMJ works with organizations of all sizes, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, across all industries, helping them devise strategies and solve problems. The firm's General Corporate & Business attorneys are strategic problem-solvers who are dedicated to helping businesses get to where they want to be, and the M&A team serves as trusted advisors to guide clients on both the buy and sell sides through all phases of a deal, from consultation and initial business considerations to leading a team of investment bankers, accountants, and any other involved parties through the final transaction.

FMJ is a full-service commercial law firm capable of handling almost anything a business may need. 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.

 

FMJ's collaborative approach ensures that each client receives top-level service in each applicable area, and it helps to increase efficiency because team members are working within their field of knowledge. FMJ is the right size to ensure that your business will receive attentive, responsive service in sophisticated legal matters, while still providing a value proposition that larger firms cannot match.
