Business Organization, Mergers & Acquisitions

Our comprehensive business organization practice starts with strategic counseling, aimed at helping clients identify the most efficient and optimal structure for their business entities.

This includes expert guidance on various forms, such as corporations, general partnerships, joint ventures, limited partnerships (LP), limited liability partnerships (LLP), limited liability companies (LLC), professional associations (PA), professional corporations (PC), and other relevant structures.

WKPZ offers invaluable assistance in negotiating contracts and corporate documents—from your initial startup phase through to ongoing operations.

Our representation includes negotiating and drafting organizational documents, shareholders’ and investors’ rights agreements (such as buy-sell, registration rights, co-sale rights, rights of first refusal), joint venture agreements, partnership agreements, limited liability company agreements, stock option and equity incentive plans, vendor and customer contracts, employment agreements, non-compete agreements, distributorship agreements, and various other business contracts.

As businesses evolve and grow, we offer ongoing counsel on employer/employee matters, business financing, and all other aspects essential to the continuous operations of a business entity. Additionally, we represent both borrowers and lenders in diverse financing arrangements, ranging from traditional bank loans to real estate loans, asset-based lending, bridge financing, and receivables financing.

Our expertise extends to mergers and acquisitions, where we comprehensively represent clients in all aspects of acquiring and selling diverse business entities, as well as addressing business succession issues. This includes adept representation in asset and stock sales, mergers, and other reorganizations, spanning transactions of various sizes, from smaller deals to complex transactions exceeding $100 million.

In the corporate arena, our practice also encompasses representing private companies in navigating capital markets, including private offerings of both equity and debt securities, as well as venture capital financing. Our commitment is to provide strategic legal guidance tailored to the unique needs and aspirations of our clients, ensuring their business endeavors thrive in a dynamic and competitive landscape.
