The work that does not make the news.
A contract read properly before it is signed is worth more than a favourable judgment three years later, and costs a fraction as much. Most of our year is spent on the first thing.
When a matter does become contentious we handle it — but we would rather have been the reason it did not.

Commercial contracts
Drafting, negotiation and review of the agreements a business signs repeatedly — supply, distribution, services, licensing.

Employment
Handbooks, separations, non-competes, and advice before a decision rather than after one.
Transactions
Purchases and sales of businesses and assets, diligence, and the structuring that determines what a deal actually transfers.
Commercial disputes
Contract and partnership disputes, in negotiation, arbitration or court — in that order of preference.
Entity formation
Structuring, operating agreements, and governance that has to survive a disagreement between founders.
They told us the matter was not worth what it would cost to fight, and then helped us settle it. Nobody had said that to us before.General counsel · manufacturing client
