Mergers & Acquisitions

Strategic outcomes — whether for growth or exit — depend upon the success of significant transactions. We advise buyers and sellers on the business, employment, IP, and tax aspects of taxable and tax-free mergers, reorganizations, asset purchases and sales, recapitalizations, buy-outs, and spin-offs. We draft and negotiate term sheets and deal documents. We perform all stages of due diligence. We can see a deal from kickoff to integration.

Corporate Law & Commercial Contracts

The value of a business is driven by operational success over time; we work with businesses at all stages of their development. We advise companies, owners, and managers on the legal aspects of operations, including leasing, licensing, debt financing and equity financing, corporate law, board and manager meetings, and regulatory matters. We help companies fix mistakes and we help companies prepare for expansion.

Employment & Equity Incentives

Employee issues can be invigorating and frustrating. Equity incentives often catalyze growth and boomerang to cause penalties and surprises. Our firm advises employers on all these issues, including equity incentives for corporations and limited liability companies, employment contracts and executive compensation. We regularly work with tax and accounting professionals on 409A and 280G issues.
