Corporate

Wildman Harrold’s Corporate Practice provides a full range of transactional and corporate counseling services to a wide variety of private and publicly held domestic and international businesses. We work with our clients to cost-effectively structure, negotiate, and document a wide range of corporate transactions. We are experienced in mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, leveraged buyouts, private equity investments, loan financings, federal and state taxation, executive compensation arrangements, employee benefits, and strategic alliances. We regularly advise clients on forming and structuring domestic and international joint ventures, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations. In the area of corporate finance and structured finance, Wildman Harrold regularly handles the public and private placements of debt and equity, “off balance sheet” lease financings, and capital leases. We have also structured dealer financing and floor plan financing.

In addition to providing sophisticated transactional services to in-house counsel, our attorneys have an extensive practice acting as a company’s general counsel. In this role, we work closely with clients to reduce legal exposures, handle legal issues as they arise, structure arrangements among owners, oversee litigation, and devise innovative solutions that balance business considerations with legal risks. Clients we serve in this capacity range from a small public emerging nanotech company to a $3 Billion privately-held agricultural cooperative.
