Business Organization & Transactions
More than Narrow Legal Advice
WHGC’s corporate transaction attorneys regularly handle some of the largest and most challenging transactions, including M&A; public and private securities offerings; private equity and venture capital transactions; securitizations; privatizations; and transactions relating to public finance, project finance, investment management and derivatives.
Our clients include a broad range of issuers and borrowers, from major international corporations to early-stage private companies. We also advise leading investment banks, commercial banks and other financial institutions acting as principals or intermediaries in corporate finance and merger transactions.
In determining the proper business organization for our start-up clients, we consider the following issues: how the business entity can protect its
personal assets from debts and liabilities; if the business entity is tax-focused; and if the corporate structure provides for future growth and expansion.
