Corporate Securities and Transactions
Deal Lawyers Who Get It. The Business & Technology Group's Corporate Securities and Transaction lawyers have the experience and knowledge to handle your company’s business and legal matters. But, more importantly, we know that a client doing a deal wants to get it done, on-time, within budget, but without taking unreasonable risks. Clients rely on us for practical, timely and effective service in their most vital transactions.
We know how to get to the finish line, because we regularly partner with our clients to get there. Our Corporate Securities and Transaction attorneys have provided top level counsel to clients in a broad variety of sophisticated M&A and financing transactions. We have represented public and private companies, acquirers and target companies, start-ups and industry giants. We have successfully managed "cross-border" deals, having assisted foreign and domestic clients in acquisitions, investments and dispositions. In financing transactions, we have represented investors as well as companies seeking capital. When needed, we can call upon the firm's other practice groups as required, such as sophisticated IP or real estate due diligence, or complex tax analysis to permit the most efficient deal structure. And we have deep ties to bankers, investors, accountants and other professionals that can help round out the client service team.
We also counsel our private and SEC-reporting company clients on corporate governance and fiduciary duty matters, both as they arise in day-to-day business and in the course of transactions such as acquisitions and financings. We advise our clients’ boards of directors, special committees and corporate officers on proxy fights, the implementation of takeover defenses and how to comply their fiduciary duty responsibilities. We actively participate in bar committees that review and propose new corporate governance legislation, allowing us to keep clients informed on the latest developments.
