From the start-up enterprise to established, publicly-traded company, Sherrard & Roe’s experienced and skilled corporate attorneys provide the legal services and support that corporate clients need to succeed. The structure, size and flexibility of our firm enable us to provide corporate services in a fast, efficient and cost-effective manner. We represent a wide variety of large and small entrepreneurial and institutional business clients in industries such as banking, health care, financial services, insurance, charitable giving, hospitality, communications, media and entertainment, technology, advertising, manufacturing, distribution, construction, retail, real estate, professional sports and education.
Business Formation.
We understand the unique needs of new businesses and emerging companies, and we are skilled in providing young businesses with flexible structures that enable them to grow, develop and succeed. We are experienced in the formation of both for-profit and not-for-profit corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, joint ventures and other business entities.
Financing and Securities.
We are able to meet the legal challenges involved in investing, securing financing and offering securities on behalf of both public and private companies. In addition to providing critical guidance with respect to securities and finance laws, our attorneys take the time to understand the financial needs of our clients’ businesses, making them an integral part of the success of a securities offering or other financial venture. Sherrard & Roe attorneys are capable of handling the most complex venture capital transactions, secured and unsecured debt offerings, and mezzanine and multi-class debt transactions. Operational Issues.
Whether providing risk management services or corporate compliance plans, handling employment or contract disputes, negotiating leases, licenses or other contracts, implementing employee or executive incentive plans and stock options, or advising management, Sherrard & Roe’s attorneys help keep businesses running on a day-to day basis. Our corporate clients are secure in knowing that whatever need arises, we are able to provide help quickly and effectively. Corporate Transactions.
Our attorneys are skilled and experienced at handling mergers and acquisitions, consolidations, stock and asset purchases, separations, reorganizations, buy-outs, and other major corporate transactions of all sizes. In particular, we understand that a major corporate transaction is not a goal in itself, but that it is simply a means to a greater end, and we advise and assist our clients accordingly, allowing them to move swiftly past the transaction and resume normal business operations with as little disruption as possible. Intellectual Property.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, where even the smallest company can face a dizzying array of intellectual property concerns, we are able to assist our clients in matters involving licensing and technology, electronic commerce, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. Employment Issues.
Sherrard & Roe corporate attorneys are experienced in dealing with the employment issues facing our corporate clients, including wage and hour laws, executive compensation, employee and executive incentive plans, non-competition, non-disclosure and non-solicitation agreements, employee relations, and the creation and implementation of employee policies and procedures. Other Practice-Group Resources.
Importantly, in addition to our corporate attorneys, Sherrard & Roe’s corporate clients have immediate access to all of our practice groups and resources. For example, our Health Care Group works with our general corporate attorneys in meeting the unique needs of corporate clients in the health care industry, our Trusts and Estates Group advises corporate clients and executives regarding estate planning and business succession issues, and our litigation department is ready to handle disputes ranging from employment discrimination to shareholder derivative actions. In short, whatever your corporate need, Sherrard & Roe’s corporate attorneys are available to help.
