Comprehensive Corporate Services for Growing Companies

We represent private companies, investment groups and entrepreneurs in structuring and managing their operations and investments. Our team is skilled in developing creative financial arrangements specific to each client’s needs, including sophisticated structures for:

• Equity and debt financing, including multiple tiers of returns and preferred returns
• Employee compensation and incentives such as stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and phantom stock
• Bonus plans, deferred compensation and custom-designed retention strategies

Mergers, Acquisitions and Business Transactions

Our attorneys have extensive experience managing M&A transactions, handling everything from asset and stock sales to mergers, reorganizations, spin-offs and business combinations. Whether the transaction involves taxable or non-taxable sales, we work closely with clients to ensure the deal is structured for maximum efficiency and benefit.

With a strong tax-focused practice, we are available to provide advanced tax analysis and planning at every stage of the transaction. From the initial negotiations and term sheet preparation, to drafting transaction documents and working towards successful closings, we are able, with client input, to structure deals in the most tax-efficient manner possible, optimizing both short-term and long-term outcomes.
