We have worked with hundreds of businesses and individuals to address a wide spectrum of day to day issues as well as those that can only be described as “not so ordinary.”

General Business Counsel

Our transactional work focuses on helping business one deal at a time – for example:

• If you are looking to transition the ownership of your business to the next generation, to your employees and/or to a third party we can help you get ready for and execute that with a close eye on tax efficient transitions.

• If you want to enter a new line of business or build market share through an acquisition or capture additional margin by acquiring part of your distribution/supply chain, we can help.

• If you are looking to form an alliance with a supplier, customer or even a competitor, we can help you structure and form that.



• We can help structure, document and close a wide range of industry specific transactions, like EPC contracts, powergen consortium agreements, project finance agreements, AIA / construction agreements, seat/user licenses, development agreements, technical cooperation agreements, supply agreements, purchase agreements and all forms of investor and entity specific operational agreements.

Our engagements involve working with the capital markets to help businesses with funding their short and long term strategies:

• Seed stage, angel or other early stage capital.

• Growth stage debt and equity.

• Transaction specific financing.



• Company side or investor side

We also advise businesses and investors across a broad range of areas to help them unlock value.In many cases, we find that it is critical to work either with a client’s existing professional consultants or introduce them to those we know well and have worked with for years. 

• Board of directors/managers formation, operation and governance.

• Asset protection and effective estate planning – often working closely with your wealth management firm.

• Risk management and problem solving. Having tried cases to verdict and litigated and settled countless disputes, we bring an informed perspective to assist you when things do not go “as planned.”

• Tax counseling. (There is a pretty good chance we are already working closely with your tax and accounting professionals).

• Employee engagement, contracts, and incentive plans. We work closely with HR, recruiting and compensation design professionals to implement a holistic approach and help you build the right team.

• Succession planning. How and when to think about “who is next” for your business.
