With supporting services in real estate, tax, immigration and labor and employment, we offer clients turn-key solutions for their corporate needs.

Our business transaction services include:

  • Company formation and qualification, including corporations, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), limited partnerships and general partnerships
  • Acquisitions, sales, divestitures and joint ventures
  • Asset-based debt and equity financings
  • Stockholder agreements
  • Contracts and commercial agreements, including employment contracts, leases, sales and distribution agreements, intellectual property licenses and agency agreements
  • Stock option and incentive compensation agreements
  • Investor and subscription agreements
  • Advising not-for-profit organizations on creation, structure and operation as well as securing and maintaining tax-exempt status

We counsel businesses in diverse industries including watches and jewelry, fragrance and beauty, insurance brokerage, manufacturing, technology, telecommunications, retail, professional services, publishing and consumer products.

In addition to our transactional work for business clients, we serve as outside general counsel, becoming an extension of our clients’ management teams.
