About

Provided by Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP

Fretting over legal matters shouldn’t be part of your business equation. Leave that part to us. Neal Gerber Eisenberg’s corporate and securities practice is designed to help business clients maintain focus on their operations while we take charge of their legal needs.

Attorneys across this broad collection of services ally with clients to provide counsel and strategy and manage the complex transactions that underpin business decisions. But we serve as more than just trusted legal counsel—we know our clients’ industries and are relied upon for our business judgment as well. With each new engagement, we first work to understand our clients’ objectives and challenges so that we can then set the legal framework for success.

Our clients tend to be entrepreneurial and range in size from family offices to Fortune 100 corporations. We provide counsel at every stage, from formation through public stock offerings, sale, disposition or succession to later generations.

As a testament to our success, our corporate practice is consistently ranked in Chambers USA as a leader in corporate law and is also listed in U.S. News-Best Lawyers’ “Best Law Firms” annual survey.
