Whiteford, Taylor & Preston's business and corporate practice offers a comprehensive range of business services for our clients. Our attorneys work with businesses ranging from single owner entrepreneurial and professional firms to large public companies, but size is neither a prerequisite nor an obstacle to getting responsive service and pragmatic and practical advice. Our services range from the selection and formation of an appropriate business entity tailored to the needs of the client through the services required at the end of a business's life, including succession planning, business sales and mergers or liquidation and dissolution. During the life of the business, our lawyers are able to handle the legal needs of each of our business clients competently, professionally, and efficiently. We advise our clients on all aspects of financing, securities offerings, stockholder and employment agreements, stock incentive programs, tax planning and many other legal issues as they arise.
When business clients face challenges which are outside of the corporate arena, our business attorneys take an interdisciplinary approach and partner with other practice areas within the firm, such as intellectual property, emerging business and venture capital, employee benefits and ERISA, labor and employment, litigation and bankruptcy. Forming teams, our attorneys are able to efficiently identify and address all issues and help our clients make the most of the opportunities presented to them.
