Effective business lawyers must familiarize themselves with the intricacies of their clients’ businesses. Businesses, both closely-held and publicly-held, and their owners have been a significant part of our practice throughout the years. Our focus on closely-held companies includes family businesses and their particular concerns, including estate and succession planning, financing, entity formation, shareholder disputes – our business lawyers bring skill and innovation to all of these areas.
We offer practical experience across the broad spectrum of business law, including:
- shareholder agreements and partnership agreements
- sophisticated financing transactions
- appearances before administrative and regulatory authorities
- executive employment and severance
- mergers, acquisitions and liquidations
- venture capital transactions
- workouts, break-ups and buyouts
We represent publicly-held business entities, counsel corporate management on issues of regulatory compliance and serve as local counsel to regional and national companies with operations in Connecticut.
Franchise law is a particular area of knowledge. We represent both franchisors and franchisees in the establishment, operation and terminations of franchise relationships.
