About
Provided by Koley Jessen P.C.
Koley Jessen's Corporate practice partners with businesses at every stage, delivering practical, forward-thinking counsel tailored to each client's goals, growth strategy, and risk tolerance. From formation through long-term operations and transition, our attorneys provide comprehensive guidance across the full range of corporate matters, working with startups, closely held companies, and sophisticated multi-entity organizations on both daily needs and long-term planning.
Entity formation and structuring, corporate governance, and ongoing compliance form the core of our day-to-day counsel, extending to complex ownership and management issues involving shareholders, investors, and leadership teams.
Across supply chain and distribution channels, the team also drafts and negotiates commercial agreements that protect key relationships and mitigate risk.
Mergers and acquisitions are a core strength. We represent buyers and sellers in middle-market transactions – domestic and international – guiding them from structuring through closing and beyond, with work spanning acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, recapitalizations, joint ventures, and investments across industries, in close coordination with our tax, employment, and real estate teams.
For business owners planning a transition, succession planning rounds out the practice, whether the move is to the next generation, internal leadership, or third-party buyers.
