Closely held companies rarely fail on strategy. They fail on documents nobody read closely: a buy-sell clause with no valuation method, a shareholder agreement that never anticipated a divorce, an earn-out defined loosely enough to argue about for two years.

We act for founders, families and operating companies through formation, growth, sale and succession — and we act for them in the dispute when a deal goes wrong, which is why our agreements read the way they do.

What we handle: entity formation and restructuring, shareholder and operating agreements, asset and share purchases, commercial contracts, employment agreements for executives, and succession planning that keeps the business out of probate.
