Business Organization & Management / Corporate Governance

We advise entrepreneurs on the right type of business entity to form, taking into consideration tax treatment, desired ownership and management structure, and financing and exit strategies. This includes advice with respect to the relationship among stockholders and partners and the terms of stockholder and partnership agreements, including buy-sell arrangements.

We counsel companies concerning matters of corporate governance and the legal relationships among stockholders, board of directors, management, and lenders. We also represent clients, ranging from entrepreneurs and family businesses to mature companies, in structuring, negotiating, and documenting the formation and governance of business relationships, partnerships, and joint ventures.

We represent clients in terminating and extricating themselves from business relationships. Our business lawyers have been successful in achieving favorable results for many clients in bitterly negotiated or contested “corporate divorces.” Because of our extensive experience in handling corporate divorces, we are keenly aware of the planning issues involved in forming business relationships. Our lawyers counsel clients to minimize risks associated with controversial separations.

We represent boards of directors, board committees, and executive officers with respect to their fiduciary duties.
