  • Full Spectrum of Business Transactions

    Like traditional large law firms, we regularly assist clients in the full spectrum of business transactions and related company matters, a large portion of which involves mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, banking and credit, employment, regulatory, corporate governance and board advisory, intellectual property, and financial restructuring and reorganization, among others.  

  • Leveraging Technology

    Our Corporate team leverages cutting edge technology in all aspects of practice and our diverse all-partner teams focus on what matters most to our clients and stakeholders, delivering outcomes through shared values of strength, diversity, and collaboration.  

  • Forging Close Partnerships

    We believe in forging close partnerships with our clients to better understand their business operations, enabling us to provide more effective counsel and to deliver exceptional value during pivotal moments that often shape profoundly the trajectory and success of our clients’ businesses.

  • Effective Low-Leverage Platform

    Our unique low-leverage platform is not only more cost-effective, it allows us to focus on fewer, targeted engagements than our peers at traditional, elite law firms. This model allows us to get closer to our clients and to know their  businesses, preferences, and cadence, and to ultimately meet our clients where they are.

Capabilities

We often collaborate with clients’ internal legal teams and business clients to thoroughly understand the objectives of the outsourcing transaction, facilitating the planning, drafting, negotiation, transition, and execution phases. Our expertise encompasses a wide range of activities, including structuring advice, RFP/proposal creation, vendor selection, term sheet negotiation, deal document crafting, vendor compliance advice, risk analysis, and more. We offer comprehensive documentation services, including term sheets, outsourcing agreements, service level agreements, and other related documents. In issue resolution, we address critical aspects like security, data protection, disaster recovery, compliance with laws, and liability allocation. Our diverse client base encompasses industries such as banking, financial services, energy, insurance, manufacturing, media, retail, and travel.
