The Corporate Department represents a variety of clients ranging from well-established companies and large commercial lenders to emerging entrepreneurs. Our attorneys handle all aspects of a business' legal affairs, from matters in the ordinary course of a client's business to extraordinary transactions and other matters requiring sophisticated levels of knowledge. We become familiar with each facet of a client's business. In this way, we can offer practical and thorough advice in an efficient manner, provide creative solutions to problems, and avoid issues of concern before they become obstacles.

The legal matters that we handle include:

• Formation of corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and other business entities.
• Participation in general corporate operations, the negotiation and drafting of shareholder, employment and other contracts and agreements.
• Negotiation of business purchases and sales.
• Mergers and acquisitions.

Our experience also includes familiarity with transactions involving industry-specific details, such as aircraft purchases and leases and automobile dealership acquisitions.

The department provides a full range of services to banks and commercial lenders for all types of asset-based financial transactions. For these clients, the services offered include thorough analysis of the proposed transaction, negotiation of the terms of the transaction, and preparation of the financing, security, inter-creditor and subordination agreements and all other necessary loan documents.
