Our group includes graduates of some of the nation’s top law schools, attorneys who trained at some of the nation’s leading law firms, attorneys with extensive law school teaching experience, and attorneys with years of industry experience. Working with attorneys in other practice areas of the firm in a multi-disciplinary approach when needed, we pride ourselves on achieving creative and efficient solutions that are customized to our clients’ needs. We continually seek to proactively anticipate potential risks for our clients and then develop effective risk mitigation strategies.

We work with clients at all stages, from start-up and formation, through growth and strategic acquisitions, and finally, helping founders achieve their desired exit strategy, either by selling to or combining with another company or through a public offering. Our clients come from various industries, including mining and exploration, technology, software development, medical, retail, insurance, manufacturing, telecommunications, and utility and energy providers. Further, they range from traditional brick and mortar operations with one location to multinational entities with a presence throughout the globe, as well as online companies.
