We guide clients through all stages of the lifecycle of a business, including formation, capitalization, operations, licensing, contracting, financing, governance, compliance, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions and sales. We also regularly work closely with clients to prepare, negotiate and explain the risks associated with a wide array of commercial agreements.

We also advise clients on a variety of intellectual property matters, including trademark and trade name registration, and the transfer and licensing of intellectual property assets in business transactions.

The Group also serves as counsel to varied non-profit, governmental, and quasi-governmental institutions. In this capacity, the attorneys frequently provide governance advice to boards of directors, trustees, town boards, and commissions on the proper conduct of board business; indemnification of directors and officers; directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; navigating state and federal laws regarding business judgment; conflicts of interest; charter and by-law interpretation; Freedom of Information Act analysis and interpretation of other pertinent laws and regulations. We also assist corporations with the review of corporate policies and procedures in light of recent developments in corporate governance.

The lawyers in the Business & Corporate Group work closely with members of the Tax, Real Estate, Securities, Commercial Finance, Litigation & Dispute Resolution, and Employment & Labor Groups as needed in order to achieve our clients’ goals.
