Our Corporate lawyers help clients create and employ strategies that allow their businesses to thrive. We offer sound legal advice and business insight tailored to the needs of each client and their objectives for each transaction.

We represent multinational corporations, midcap enterprises, and startups from formation to IPO and everything in between. Our clients range from lenders and borrowers in substantial public and private financings; to private equity and venture capital funds, small business investment companies, and family offices in their formation and investments; to troubled companies in buyouts and restructurings; to closely held businesses in business continuity planning.

Our mergers and acquisitions lawyers guide both sellers and buyers through every step of a deal, from setting the strategy through to implementation. We have handled business combinations ranging from small, privately negotiated transactions to mergers, tender offers, and other transactions involving significant public companies. In the course of handling these transactions, our attorneys manage all aspects of federal and state securities law and other laws that may affect M&A activities, including Hart-Scott-Rodino compliance. Our services have prominent national and international dimensions, including serving as counsel to numerous U.S. affiliates of foreign companies.
