About

Provided by Henson & Efron

Henson Efron’s Business Law group advises closely held companies, privately held businesses, entrepreneurs, executives, and owners through the full lifecycle of their business needs. Our attorneys serve as practical, responsive counsel on business formation, governance, operations, transactions, ownership transitions, and long-term planning.

The group is particularly experienced in guiding clients through mergers, acquisitions, sales, reorganizations, and other complex transactions. We help clients evaluate structure, negotiate key terms, coordinate financing and tax considerations, manage diligence, and move transactions efficiently from initial strategy through closing.

Our business attorneys work closely with the firm’s tax, real estate, estate planning, employment, and litigation attorneys to provide integrated counsel when a matter requires more than a standalone transactional perspective. This collaborative approach allows us to address both the immediate business objective and the broader legal, financial, and ownership implications of each decision.

Clients turn to the group for clear judgment, efficient execution, and counsel that is grounded in a practical understanding of how businesses operate. Whether advising on a significant transaction, day-to-day corporate matters, or a transition in ownership or leadership, we focus on helping clients make informed decisions and achieve durable business outcomes.
