Business Law and Business Transactions
We assist our clients with the negotiation and documentation of business transactions, including entity formations, recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, and loans. We work with our clients on the legal matters that arise in the day to day operation of their businesses, such as employment agreements, distribution agreements, sales representative agreements, sales agreements, and confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. We represent clients of all sizes, from public companies to entrepreneurial start-ups. We utilize our decades of experience to resolve issues in a practical and business-like way.
Formation and Recapitalization of Business Entities
We help our clients form business entities, including C corporations, S corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies. We provide advice regarding the selection of the form of business entity, after considering (i) tax consequences, and (ii) the degree of protection provided with respect to the liabilities of the enterprise. We also assist our clients in the documentation of agreements relating to their ownership of such entities, such as buy-sell agreements, voting agreements, partnership agreements, bylaws, and other corporate governance agreements. We represent the interests of our clients in connection with the issuance of debt and equity securities, and the restructuring and recapitalization of their entities.
Tax Law
We advise our clients regarding the tax issues that arise with respect to many business transactions, including acquisitions, reorganizations, distributions, stock options, executive compensation arrangements, like-kind exchanges, partnerships, and the formation of business entities.
