Corporate

How do we help business owners and investors navigate the full spectrum of corporate governance, transactions and growth?

Across industries and time zones, privately held companies, business owners, investors and fund managers rely on us for strategic, commercial legal counsel that shapes their businesses and helps set them up for success. We counsel clients through consequential decisions, help them identify and manage risk, and protect both what they have built and all that may come next.

Public company and Big Law experience for private companies

Our attorneys bring public-company and Big Law insights and attention to the wide range of legal and transactional challenges faced by privately held and middle-market businesses. That experience gives clients access to sophisticated judgment and resources, but without the layers of bureaucracy or distance that can accompany larger institutions. We handle:

• Business formation
• Capital raising and financing
• Corporate governance
• Cross-border transactions
• Due diligence
• Employment matters
• Fund formation
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Securities and compliance

Counsel for every stage of the business cycle

We guide clients strategically through every step of their business, from establishing appropriate entity structures, to maintaining sound corporate governance and anticipating issues such as ownership, management, financing and business objectives evolve. As companies grow, we advise on transactions, capital raising, investments, acquisitions and other complex business matters, and when owners are ready for the next chapter, we help them navigate the legal and strategic considerations involved in a transition, restructuring or exit.

Providing strategic finance, capital and investment counsel

We represent borrowers, private equity and venture capital investors, fund managers, emerging managers, family offices, and companies raising capital in sophisticated financing, corporate, transactional, and regulatory matters. Our experience spans:

• Traditional and alternative financing
• Fund formation and structuring
• Corporate restructuring
• Banking and finance transactions
• Investment analysis
• Securities and regulatory compliance, and
• Emerging financial technologies, including cryptocurrency and digital assets.

Offering insight into cross-border transactions

We regularly advise on transactions and investments involving parties and assets in Latin America, Europe, Asia, India and Canada. Cross-border deals bring added layers of complexity, including foreign investment approvals, multi-jurisdictional entity structuring, currency and capital movement, and differing legal and regulatory regimes. We address those issues early and coordinate with local counsel and other professionals to deliver seamless representation, with the client’s objectives at the center.

“A business is more than a legal entity; it represents years of aspiration and effort, and we honor that. Our firm is built by owners, and we advise like owners, helping clients protect their legacies. Whether you’re a serial acquirer or a family business selling the company you’ve spent a lifetime building, we’re here for you, and we’ll make it count.”
