Much of our practice at Wofsey Rosen is devoted to representing corporate and commercial clients in a wide variety of matters. Our experienced attorneys in Stamford regularly assist clients in planning for and creating new business entities, and we help clients identify, manage and solve the myriad legal issues that apply to the formation and continuation of such entities. We frequently represent clients in mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, spin-offs and buy-outs. We routinely represent lenders, borrowers and other parties in financing transactions. We carefully but efficiently negotiate and draft documents and close all types of commercial transactions in a manner that serves the best interests of our clients.
We provide general and issue-specific advice and counsel to publicly and privately held corporations as well as to partnerships, limited liability companies and proprietorships, and we regularly serve as their advocates in federal and state courts and before local, state and federal agencies. We strive, however, to facilitate the resolution of business disputes in a conference room rather than a courtroom. When disputes cannot be solved in a business forum, we utilize alternative dispute resolution protocols, which often serve our clients’ interests better than a court. Our corporate attorneys work with the lawyers in our litigation department — many of whom serve as mediators, arbitrators and special masters — to ensure that the best dispute resolution forum is selected for each client and matter.
We understand that business owners invest significant time and resources to create and grow a business. In most cases, the focus is, as it should be, on the operational side of the business. At Wofsey Rosen, we provide assistance in developing and helping to maintain a business entities’ legal infrastructure, so that businesspeople can devote their time to business issues, rather than legal ones. In that regard, we often serve as “outside general counsel” to small and mid-sized businesses and in that role, help clients prevent small issues from growing into big problems.
