“The process is always dynamic and requires 360-degree awareness of all aspects of an engagement – that’s part of why we enjoy it so much. We are flexible, and sensitive to the need to regularly calibrate strategies, action plans, and case budgets to maintain the clarity of your goals and objectives (which sometimes themselves change as a matter progresses). Light footprint, sustained onslaught, or anything in between… we are adaptable to the needs of your situation because while size and scope may vary, the core principles and our passion for solving your problems are enduring.”

The firm provides entity formation and governance, drafting and negotiation of commercial contracts and agreements, corporate transactions, shareholder and operating agreements, and ongoing corporate counseling. The corporate practice is closely tied to the firm's litigation practice — drafted to anticipate disputes the firm sees in court.
Yes. The firm regularly drafts, reviews, and negotiates commercial agreements including service contracts, vendor agreements, distribution agreements, non-disclosure agreements, employment agreements, and licensing arrangements. The firm's litigation experience informs the drafting — particular attention goes to dispute-resolution clauses, indemnification, and the terms most likely to be tested if a relationship sours.
Yes, for clients whose needs justify it. The firm has served as outside general counsel for closely held businesses, providing day-to-day corporate counseling, contract review, and a first call when issues arise — an arrangement that often produces more efficient handling of mid-sized matters than a transactional firm could provide.
