Corporate
Our

establishment of the enterprise through all aspects of its evolution and
operation. Our corporate practice is broad and often intersects with closely
related practices - particularly tax, corporate transactions, and securities.

and officer liability. We represent corporations in structuring their
initial capitalization and in ongoing corporate financing transactions
utilizing a wide range of public and private debt and equity instruments.
We
are active in domestic and cross-border corporate transactions - major
mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures, as well as equity investments
and change of control transactions. We also counsel businesses in connection
with their ongoing contractual relationships with domestic and international
customers, suppliers, and distributors.
