Our attorneys pride themselves on their long-standing relationships with our clients. We believe that to provide the most effective representation, it is important that we have a thorough understanding of our clients' businesses, their short and long-term goals and the personalities and management styles of their officers and directors. Based on this understanding, we advise clients in all phases of their development, from choice of business entity (including forming corporations, joint ventures and individual proprietorships) to determining the appropriate structure for established businesses. Our attorneys counsel clients on contracts (including preparation of purchase, leasing, distribution and sales representative agreements, patent, trademark, software and technology licensing, and business venture, consulting and employment agreements). We also advise clients on shareholder and partner relationships and family business issues (including succession), regulatory compliance (including environmental issues) and business problems. Our attorneys represent creditors and debtors in insolvency, creditors in bankruptcy reorganization and liquidation proceedings as well as in structuring and negotiating workouts and other informal arrangements for creditors and debtors.
