Our Corporate/M&A group brings a practical, results-oriented perspective to business law. Although we consider ourselves to be a classic “middle market” firm, we represent companies of all sizes, ranging from closely held family businesses to large public companies and from start-ups to mature organizations.
We counsel clients on an array of corporate, securities and commercial matters, including those related to routine operating issues as well as more complex tax-driven transactions requiring specialized services. The corporate practice focuses heavily on strategic deals including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures as well as intergenerational transfers and succession planning. We analyze alternative forms of business organizations be they LLCs, corporations or other structures and are heavily involved in the drafting and negotiation of shareholder and operating agreements.
Emerging Companies
Moses & Singer’s Corporate Law practice brings a no-nonsense, reality-based focus to the legal needs of entrepreneurs and emerging companies.
