In addition to entity selection, formation and success planning, we regularly advise clients in the creation of their core corporate documents, such as shareholder, LLC and partnership agreements.

Corporate Governance

We advise management, boards of directors and corporate committees in connection with a broad range of corporate governance matters.

Executive Compensation & Benefits

We frequently help businesses navigate employment issues and design, implement and administer executive compensation arrangements and programs. We also work closely with businesses during the M&A process, to navigate the legal and financial risks of compensation arrangements, and the related securities, tax and ERISA issues.

We help clients develop IP licensing strategies, draft and review relevant agreements with employees, vendors and competitor; and navigate complex negotiations. Our experience cuts across industries, and ranges from assignments of single IP properties to matters involving large IP portfolios.

Mergers & Acquisitions
