OUTSIDE GENERAL COUNSEL

Our attorneys have close relationships with business owners and management teams, and combine their extensive knowledge and skills with real world experience to give practical advice regarding the various legal and business issues that arise in the day-to-day operations of medium sized and smaller businesses, as well as family-owned businesses. This includes:
