Our Business Law practice group represents all types of business organizations - ranging in size from small proprietorships to stock-exchange listed corporations - in a wide range of business transactions. As general counsel to a variety of businesses, this group's attorneys negotiate and draft many types of business and financial agreements. Often these documents must be prepared not only to accomplish the specific goals at hand, but also take to take account of other considerations, such as taxes or estate planning, which require skill in several areas of law.

The diversity of the attorneys in the Business Law practice group - paired with a wide range of experience in corporate finances - allows them to advise clients in many subject areas. As general counsel to publicly held companies, the group has been involved in the preparation of all sorts of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As counsel to a number of start-up companies, the group has prepared numerous securities offerings, and has represented both venture capitalists and entrepreneurs in the start-up phase of businesses financed by or seeking venture capital. Our attorneys have handled various mergers, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses of all sorts and sizes. We have also done a variety of work for financial institutions, including loan closings, advice on truth-in-lending and other regulatory compliance, loan workouts and real estate work, including commercial loan closing and foreclosures. Attorneys in the group engage in a broad commercial real estate practice, including representation of lenders, developers, landlords and tenants. We also assist clients in the purchase, sale, financing and leasing of office space, shopping centers and industrial parks as well as tax-exempt financing of health care facilities.

Much of the work this practice group does is influenced to some extent by tax considerations. We assist clients in all aspects of tax planning, including employee benefits planning and advising families and business owners about estate and gift tax, assisting with preparation of estate planning documentation and with the administration of estates. We assist not only in tax planning, but we also have experience in resolving disputes with taxing authorities over a variety of tax issues and types of taxes, including income, estate, gift, withholding, FICA, unemployment and sales and use tax.
