Corporate Governance
We represent clients from different sectors in general corporate, governance, and compliance matters. Our clients include closely-held companies, publicly traded companies, shareholders, and management executives. We provide a broad scope of services, including entity formation, operating and shareholder agreements, stock purchases, asset sales, employment and executive compensation schemes, licensing and franchising agreements, as well as confidentiality and non-competition agreements.
Raising Capital
We have established and close relationships with investment firms, private equity funds, alternative lenders, and venture capitalists and have experience in both debt and equity financing. Whether the client is seeking a private capital raise, lines of credit, convertible debt instruments, receivables-backed structures, or equity financing, we assist our client in navigating financing from start to finish.
Mergers and Acquisitions
When seeking growth through merger or acquisition, clients need to be aware of a myriad of different risks, particularly in complex or regulated industries. These risks include not only government regulation and taxation liabilities, but risks associated with bringing together different work cultures, including key employee retention and intellectual property protection. Our M&A practice includes negotiated and hostile acquisitions; merging of equals; joint ventures; stock exchanges; distressed asset purchases; management buy-outs; going private transactions, special committee, and fairness opinions.
