1) Corporate Services

Our corporate partners are experts in providing legal advice supporting every aspect of your business. Our partners’ collective experience as both inside-counsel and outside-counsel for large, multi-national firms enables us to execute effectively as an extension of our corporate clients’ legal departments. Our corporate department handles, among other matters, the following:

• corporate finance, corporate structuring and counseling to both public and private companies and startups;

In addition, Mr. McGrath will continue his white-collar defense, investigations and corporate due diligence practice at the firm.

3) Real Estate

Our real estate group provides legal representation and counseling on, among other matters, large-scale leasing transactions and complex transactions arising out of today’s volatile real estate climate (which includes, as discussed above, an expertise in work-outs and construction litigation).
