Business Law

While countless business law lawyers advertise assistance with creating transactional documents and contracts, not all can strategically structure financing in order to propel an organization to the next level. At Cooper Levenson, we can.

Business lawyers sometimes advertise expertise in negotiating transactions and contracts. However, few strategically structure transactions that allow companies and the owners of those companies to maximize value and minimize taxes. At Cooper Levenson, we customize transactions to suit our clients.

We understand that no business can be successful without attracting capital and effectively structuring the use of that capital to finance future growth.

Our law firm has developed strong relationships with numerous banks and financial institutions, which has proved particularly helpful to our business clients.

Matters routinely handled by our business law department include:

Transactional and organizational matters, such as business formation, mergers, acquisitions, sales and purchases, partnership agreements, operating agreements, business consolidations, real estate transfers and planning for ownership succession. Our lawyers draw on considerable firsthand experience to formulate creative solutions.
Tax counseling incident to specialized, tax-sensitive business and estate planning matters. Eliminating, minimizing or deferring taxes through highly personalized, innovative strategies is a particular departmental strength. Our central focus is always to find the most effective mechanism to attain or exceed our clients’ goals.
Middle-market mergers and acquisitions (M&As) with private equity firms, hedge funds and strategic partners. Our attorneys bring a long history of successfully structuring, negotiating, and closing deals within this space.

Our clients include buyers, sellers and lenders; our experience and knowledge from the perspective of all facets of a transaction enable our attorneys to understand the nuances and opportunities that our clients will encounter.
