About

Provided by Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton

Growing companies can get legal advice from many sources. To be successful, however, requires counsel not just on the law but guidance on how to harness key business drivers while still protecting critical interests. With a continual transaction flow on both the buyer and seller sides, we bring efficiency, focus, and a current understanding of the market effects on deal terms and on the timing and process for mergers and acquisitions. We have forged strong client relationships spanning several decades and many transactions. Unique qualities of our corporate practice in North Carolina include: (i) our investment management practice, which is a leading practice in the Southeast; (ii) our ability to nimbly and efficiently handle a broad range of corporate transactions for clients in various industry sectors and of all sizes; and (iii) our ability to work closely with our firm’s leading intellectual property practice in transactions involving patents and trademarks.
