Business Law and Commercial Transactions
Business law is a complex arena, and your attorney must have deep attention to detail. Whether it’s going through financial documents and the maze of laws and regulations that impact your business or simply monitoring the best practices within your industry, experienced lawyers can efficiently and effectively handle your case.
Commercial Transactions
A commercial transaction is more than just processing orders. When you hire employees, that is a legal transaction. Transactions of all kinds are the very essence of commercial activity and there is a body of law that supports each and every one.

Corporate Law & Compliance
Corporate compliance covers three basic areas: Statutory compliance, regulatory compliance, and compliance with industry standards. Your business must be in compliance with all applicable laws at the federal, state, and local level, and keeping your business in line with industry norms is equally important.

These transactions are always more than just bringing two or more parties together for a business deal. Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures also involve fundamental alterations to the structure of at least one business. The shift to a new corporate structure means a fresh evaluation of laws, regulations, and compliance requirements.
