Banking And Financing

Access to capital is vital to our clients as they grow and expand their businesses. Our lawyers have advised many clients on bank financing, small business loans, venture financing and borrowings from other sources. We help our clients navigate through complex loan documentation, including pledge agreements and other security documents.

Business And Commercial Transactions

Our lawyers advise clients on various business and commercial matters, including operational contract reviews, strategic alliances, joint venture transactions and supply and sales transactions. As our clients’ business grow, we work closely with them as the complexity of the transactions that they engage in also increase.

Corporate Advisory And Governance

In our role as legal advisors, we work with our clients from the early stage of their businesses and assist them on various corporate matters, including entity formation and business structuring, employment, stock option plan and executive compensation programs.

As our clients’ businesses mature, our lawyers also advise them on the reorganization and even winding down of their businesses. We also work with our clients to ensure that corporate actions taken by them are in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, whether internal or external.

Our lawyers also advise our client on matters relating to regulatory filings, FCPA compliance and other corporate governance matters.

We work closely with our clients as they seek investment and trade opportunities globally. Our lawyers have substantial experience and expertise in counseling clients on international and cross-border transactions. Most of our lawyers are bilingual and have practiced in one or more foreign jurisdictions.

For non-U.S. clients exploring investment opportunities in the U.S., we work with these clients to ensure compliance with U.S. regulations, including those involving foreign investment review and export control.

Mergers And Acquisitions

We have substantial experience advising clients on M&A transactions, both domestic and cross-border transactions. Our lawyers have advised leading multinational companies on public and private deals, including complex mergers, equity or asset acquisitions and divestitures, and tender offer transactions, involving various industry sectors.

We work closely with our clients through the M&A process, from the initial letter of intent, through the due diligence, negotiation and documentation process and all the way to successful completion.
