Corporate & Securities

With our strong entrepreneurial spirit and seasoned team of attorneys with in-house business experience and accounting and finance backgrounds, we strive to provide clear, business-minded legal solutions to complex legal issues and to handle transactions with partner-level attention.

We deliver legal excellence, innovative and results-oriented solutions and sound business judgment in a more cost-effective manner than traditional, multi-tiered law firms. As a result, we can effectively represent a diverse group of local, regional and national clients at all stages of their development – from startups to mature businesses to multimillion-dollar national corporations. Many of our corporate clients are rapidly growing entrepreneurial companies that regularly depend on us for creative and practical advice and direction. Accordingly, our clients often rely on our attorneys as if they are a part of their senior management team, involving them in all aspects of planning, structuring, negotiating and consummating various corporate transactions. Our attorneys also maintain a strong and focused local and regional practice, allowing us to act as connectors in the region’s business community and to assist our clients in building relationships through utilizing our extensive contacts in the venture capital, private equity, banking and other communities.
