Practice Area
Corporate & M&A
Mergers, acquisitions, financings, and standing outside general counsel.
The corporate group advises buyers, sellers, and investors across the full transaction lifecycle — structuring, due diligence, negotiation, and closing — for deals ranging from founder-led acquisitions to complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions involving public and private companies alike.
Beyond transactions, the group serves as ongoing outside general counsel to a substantial roster of privately held and closely held businesses, advising on governance, commercial contracting, financing rounds, and the day-to-day legal questions that come with running a company. Clients often engage the group first for a single transaction and retain it as standing counsel once the relationship proves its judgment under pressure.
The group works closely with the firm’s tax, real estate, employment, and intellectual property practices so that a transaction’s legal risks are surfaced and priced before signing — not discovered in post-closing indemnification disputes.
“A deal is only as good as the counsel who anticipated the problem eighteen months before it surfaced.”
