A significant part of the firm's practice involves business transactions and corporate law.  Often, lawsuits can be avoided if the underlying agreements are drafted with precision and foresight.  Accordingly, the firm's approach to drafting contracts is simple:  it strives to accurately and thoroughly prepare the underlying documentation and address issues of compliance and regulatory enforcement in a manner that is proactive.  In other words, the firm seeks to prevent problems before they arise.

For example, one of the firm's focuses is the sale and purchase of businesses, what is generally referred to as "Mergers & Acquisitions."  Having a wealth of experience in this area, the firm is often able to advise clients respecting both the business and legal aspects of how to structure and effectuate the sale in a way that makes the most sense.  This applies from the inception of the transaction to its conclusion. 

The firm has handled a variety of commercial transactions involving the following:

• Corporate formalities including operating agreements, meeting resolutions and corporate bylaws
• Shareholder agreements and stock pledge agreements
• Sale and purchase of a business
• Employment, severance and restrictive covenant agreements
• Employment manuals
• Distribution agreements
• Promissory notes, security agreements and applicable UCC filings
• Intellectual property licensing and assignment agreements
• Corporate Governance
• Commercial Real Estate purchases
• Commercial Leases
• Corporate workouts
• Occupational Licensing
• Trademarks, Copyrights and Trade Secret
• Invoice terms and conditions
