We assist many companies in all legal aspects of their businesses. We provide sound legal advice in a broad range of corporate matters, including public, private and bank financing, corporate compliance, franchising reporting and governance programs as well as counsel to boards of directors and executives on matters such as corporate record-keeping, codes of ethics and crisis management. We also advise corporate clients on employment, environmental, intellectual property, real estate, tax matters, technology licensing, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions.
We have vast experience in helping companies with the acquisition and disposition of businesses and their assets, exchanges of assets, and competitive auctions. We also handle the legal aspects of related financing, securities, environmental, tax, security, and intellectual property issues as well as employment and benefits-related matters.
We regularly advise clients in all areas of securities law, including registration, reporting, compliance, private placements and public offerings of debt, equity and hybrid securities, venture capital, broker-dealer matters, securities arbitration and litigation. In addition, our attorneys work closely with clients to help them avoid problems through careful planning and due diligence, while assisting them in raising needed capital and providing employee equity incentives.
Venture capital comprises a significant portion of our corporate practice. Our attorneys have worked with both start up companies and venture capital providers to assist each in making sound investment decisions. They have documented and designed a wide variety of venture-type investment programs, including convertible preferred stock or debentures, joint ventures, strategic partnering, and asset-based financing.
