In the hyper-competitive world of business and finance, clients need innovative thinking and creative solutions to complex commercial issues. Lawyers provide a value-added service when they can deliver counsel quickly and comprehensively, and in the context of a client’s business.  

At Labaton Sucharow, we represent a diverse client base in the structuring and negotiation of business transactions. Our clients include financial services companies, closely held businesses, and high net worth individuals. We assist clients operating in sectors such as manufacturing, importing, retailing, financial services, professional services, and nonprofit organizations.

With every matter, our attorneys bring to the table knowledge of the market and our client’s business, enabling us to find solutions where others may see problems.


Family and Closely Held Businesses

Relationships are the lifeblood of family and closely held companies, and must withstand the rigors of business.  Hence, although each client presents a unique situation, our overarching goals remain the same—to promote both the success of the enterprise and harmonious relations among the parties.

To this end, we are experienced in developing effective agreements that establish clearly defined relations, assure continuity of management and control, and provide for the succession of ownership.


Finance and Securities

To succeed, clients need solutions that are tailored to their business’ particular place within the corporate life cycle.

Labaton Sucharow has counseled the entire spectrum of business clients—from nurturing start-ups into mature profitable ventures, to issuing public offerings and arranging private placements. Our experience includes negotiating and structuring mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and joint ventures.


High Net Worth Individuals

Business professionals often find that as their commercial endeavors move forward, their personal finances become more complex. Our attorneys assist with tax and estate planning, real estate transactions, and other personal affairs.
