We also offer business owners a wide range of top-notch personal services, including representation in Estate Planning, Real Estate Transactions, Tax, Business Succession and Family Law/Divorce matters.
Business Counselors. Many of our business lawyers serve as outside general counsel for companies of all sizes covering a wide range of industry sectors. In that role, we connect company management to experienced lawyers with the right skill set – both inside and outside our Business Law Group. We understand and enjoy business and we relish serving as trusted business advisers. Taking the time to learn our client’s business has resulted in personal and business relationships that in many cases have spanned decades.
Local Service, Global Resources. Through our membership and leadership in Legal Netlink Alliance (an alliance of midsized, general practice, independent law firms), our reach is literally global. So whether you need to diligence a merger partner in Phoenix, Arizona, litigate in the Delaware Chancery Court, or consult with a tax expert in Belgium, we can provide assistance both quickly and economically.
Business Disputes. Practice Made Personal® means we are there for our clients when the going gets tough and we treat their matters as our own. Commercial litigation can be stressful and distracting for business owners. Our business lawyers understand that. But when there is no alternative to litigation, we won’t abandon you. We work collaboratively with our Business Litigation Group to ensure that the needs of an ongoing business remain paramount both during the course of litigation and when structuring any settlement. Business lawyers in our group also have extensive experience in ownership disputes (often referred to as “corporate divorce”), and work closely with our litigation team in planning, executing and litigating such matters.
A Mid-Sized Firm With a Depth of Experience. In addition to the core business services described above, our attorneys have specific industry experience in: banking and finance (representing both financial institutions and business customers), health care (representing physicians and physician groups) and a wide range of manufacturing and service industries. Our business clients include manufacturers, builders, distributors and banks, as well as health care, technology, real estate and private equity firms. Our entrepreneurial clients include accountants, lawyers, doctors, real estate, finance and investment professionals.
