Every business is governed by laws (oftentimes quite a few of them), but few businesses have a true legal partner to whom they can turn for help with navigating the increasing complex environment in which we now operate. Businesses with $100M in annual revenue almost always have a lawyer in-house. The other 99% of US businesses, however, aren’t large enough to justify the cost. We see an opportunity to partner as your outside legal counsel in a way that feels like we’re a member of your in-house team.

The most significant financial matters a business owner will participate in is (1) the purchase of the business (if it’s not being built from the ground up), and (2) the business’ sale. Our bread and butter as business attorneys is business deals. Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, divesting, financing or re-financing, you need a specialist who can delicately and skillfully walk with you through complex matters, advocate fairly on your behalf, and document your transaction with precision and skill. Don’t go through a transaction alone, or even with a lawyer that doesn’t have extensive deal experience. Our experienced mergers and acquisitions and finance attorneys are an investment in the success of your transaction.

Businesses are dynamic and fluid, and from the perspective of the owner or executive, most problems simply need to be solved. That’s true, but sometimes a specialist is required. Just as you wouldn’t go to a cardiologist for a cold, you wouldn’t go to your internist for cancer. You would probably start there, however, if you knew something was wrong and you needed help finding the right provider. We don’t do all things for our clients, but we pride ourselves in being their first call. Whether it’s personal estate or tax planning, a domestic matter, a DUI or even an accident, you shouldn’t need to know many attorneys to help you when you need it. With consilium, you only need one. And if we can’t resolve your issue directly, one of our trusted and vetted partners can.
