Business Transactions

Details

Our clients include single-location businesses, multinational corporations, entrepreneurial startups, and some of the most respected companies in our community. We help them achieve their business goals while developing and protecting their key commercial assets.

Our attorneys provide comprehensive services, from high-level strategic counsel and contract negotiation to detailed analysis of critical provisions and clauses. We frequently serve as outside general counsel for companies without in-house legal departments, offering guidance across all phases of the business life cycle.

Our work spans the formation of new entities, preparation of capital-raising documents (debt and equity), drafting of day-to-day operational contracts, and the documentation necessary for business exits.

We bring industry-specific knowledge to every engagement, with notable strengths in manufacturing and distribution, business and professional services, construction, logistics, food and beverage, technology, and health care. To serve our clients more effectively, we often collaborate with attorneys in other HunterMaclean practice areas to deliver coordinated, comprehensive counsel on matters involving employment, employee benefits, real estate, and litigation.
