About

Provided by Thompson Coburn LLP

The Corporate Law team at Thompson Coburn works with clients at every stage of their business life cycle, assisting them from formation to exit and at every milestone. Our experienced team regularly works with private and public companies of all sizes on the issues that affect their day-to-day operations, as well as on the extraordinary events that can have significant repercussions for their businesses and their stakeholders.

Our Corporate Law team advises individuals, investors, advisors and businesses on a range of matters. We help navigate the challenges of business entity selection and establishment, while protecting the rights of business owners. We assist companies in growing their market presence, both organically and through acquisitions, and achieving their operational goals. We counsel owners seeking to divest all or part of their companies. And in the interim, we help our clients find their way through the complicated operational and regulatory world, including through risk mitigation and proactive counseling.

We routinely advise buyers and sellers in determining the most beneficial form and structure of a transaction, negotiating and documenting the transaction, and meeting the conditions and contingencies to closing as efficiently as possible. Our thorough knowledge of the regulatory aspects inherent in all types of corporate matters allows us to determine the most appropriate method to expedite the desired corporate action.
