Our commercial and corporate practice area is central to our identity as a value-adding firm and has long featured cutting-edge transactions and leading clients.  Through our extensive exposure to a wide variety of corporate and commercial matters and our close relationships with old and new clients, our lawyers develop from early in their careers with us into problem-solving advisors.

We serve as outside counsel to many corporations and commercial entities, providing advice on general governance and regulatory matters and on all sorts of economic activities.  Mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs and joint ventures figure prominently in our work.  In addition, we advise frequently on many types of operational transactions, such as licensing, distribution and tolling arrangements.  In recent years, the firm has played a significant role in the privatizations of government-owned companies.

We counsel not only established companies, but start-up ventures as well.  The business sectors with which we are familiar range from basic industry to leading-edge technology.  Decades of experience lets us help all our clients -- regardless of their stage in corporate evolution -- think not only about what is, but also about what might be.
