Applying a holistic approach, we work within fully integrated and seasoned teams in North America and Europe to provide guidance across multiple disciplines, including corporate/M&A, debt finance, securities and corporate governance, tax, employment, employee benefits and executive compensation, environmental, real estate, intellectual property, and data privacy and security. We are especially well suited to transactions involving highly regulated industries or sensitive regulatory issues.
