Business & Corporate Law

Trusted Advisors for Complex Corporate and Business Transactions

Sophisticated corporate matters require experienced legal counsel, and at Oppenheim Law, we provide expert guidance for small to large companies, particularly in complex legal and business transactions. Our Business & Corporate Law practice is devoted to serving companies with diverse and intricate legal needs. Whether you’re looking for one-off transactional assistance or seeking outside general counsel services, we offer solutions designed to meet your specific business goals.

Many of our clients are leaders in their industries, and they call on us to help them pursue acquisitions, business relationships and financing that they can leverage to remain ahead of the field. With decades of experience handling these types of matters, our lawyers are able not only to help our clients react to opportunities, but to help our clients identify and pursue new opportunities as well—and to help them make informed decisions and effectively manage their risk every step of the way.

What We Do

Complex Entity Structuring and Finance

We regularly assist our clients with structuring new business entities as well as securing financing for both new and existing entities. When assisting with entity formations, we take a comprehensive approach, which includes but is not limited to,  considering account ownership considerations, tax implications, and  liability concern. We then take all of the necessary steps to form our clients’ new entities and draft the necessary governing documents, assisting with negotiations between co-owners in joint ventures and other similar arrangements as needed including operating agreements and business agreements,  depending upon the type of corporate structure formed.

We assist with all aspects of corporate finance transactions as well. Our lawyers have extensive experience advising clients in connection with all types of debt and equity financing arrangements, including complex structured finance transactions. We negotiate, prepare, and review all of the  transactional documents making sure that they accurately reflect the substantive terms of the deal, and protect our clients’ business interests.

Corporate Acquisitions and Asset Purchases

Our team has vast experience representing clients in corporate acquisitions and asset purchases, guiding them through due diligence, negotiations, and post-closing integration. Our experience includes representing divesting and acquiring entities in these transactions, as well as representing banks, lenders and other interested parties. We ensure that businesses are prepared for the complexities of these transactions with a clear view of risks and opportunities.

From due diligence and deal negotiations through post-closing integration, our lawyers provide critical advice and insights to our clients at all stages of the business acquisition process. We have the capabilities required to effectively manage extremely large-scale transactions, and all of our lawyers have the experience required to effectively represent our clients’ interests.

Contract Drafting and Negotiations

Whether it’s executive compensation agreements, vendor contracts, or employment agreements, we offer comprehensive services in drafting and negotiating corporate contracts, including, but not limited to:

• Executive compensation agreements
• Employment agreements
• Independent contractor agreements
• Loan agreements
• Vendor and supplier contracts

Our approach is custom-tailored to protect your interests and facilitate smooth transactions without disrupting the deal-making process.

General Counsel Services

In our Corporate Concierge Legal Services Program, we serve as outside general counsel to many of our corporate clients. In this role, we make ourselves available to our clients on an as-needed basis, consistent with the terms of our engagement. 

When we work with companies as outside general counsel, we focus on quickly getting up to speed on all aspects of our client’s operations on an ongoing basis. This includes, but is not limited to, drafting and reviewing contracts and commercial leases, reviewing the corporate structure of the business entity, advising on business succession planning,  and reviewing and preparing employee and independent contractor agreements. By doing so, we are able to not only react nimbly when legal needs arise, but also to help our clients proactively address potential concerns and mitigate their risk. Our close involvement with clients allows us to offer strategic advice on their business operations, including vendor contract negotiations and the development of  employment policies and procedures, helping to minimize their risk of costly litigation.

In this program, we provide a reasonable, consistent flat monthly rate for our legal services, and provide 24/7 availability. For many of our clients, this proves to be  immensely valuable and helps mitigate their legal spend over the long term, and mitigate unexpected charges.
