From the firm’s inception, we have provided solution-oriented and efficient general corporate counseling, advice and services to a substantial number of business entities, large and small, both publicly traded and privately held. Our ability to provide our clients with advice on a wide range of business law issues is reflected in being the only firm named by Chambers USA 2018 to its top tier, “Band 1”, for Corporate/M&A law firms in Connecticut. We have been in the top tier for sixteen straight years.

  • Mergers and Acquisitions
  • Financings (both equity and debt)

  • Securities Laws
  • Executive Compensation and Benefits
  • Employment Laws
  • Corporate and Partnership Tax
  • Dispute Resolution and Litigation

  • We are committed to understanding the client’s business, priorities, preferences and risk tolerances and becoming an integral part of the business team. We understand that general corporate matters must be effected in a timely and cost effective manner and we pride ourselves on our responsiveness and highly collaborative approach (both internally and with the client). Depending on the requirements and preferences of the client, we can collaborate with clients to develop a cost effective “out-sourced” general counsel arrangement.
