Ongoing Counsel for Businesses and Their Owners
DRG serves as outside corporate counsel to closely held companies and business owners who need experienced legal guidance beyond a single transaction or isolated issue.
The value of an outside counsel relationship grows as counsel develops a deeper understanding of the business. Over time, we become familiar with the company's ownership and capital structure, key agreements, financial considerations, risk tolerance and long-term objectives. That context allows us to identify issues earlier, give more practical advice and help clients make decisions with full context.
Our work may include corporate governance, ownership and management matters, significant contracts, acquisitions and sales, commercial financing, equity and capital arrangements, real estate, owner buyouts, succession transactions and dispute strategy.
The attorneys in DRG's Transactional Group advise clients through both transactions and disputes. When a business matter becomes contested, the attorneys who already understand the company, its owners and the history of the issue remain directly involved and work with DRG's Litigation Group. That continuity allows the client to move directly into strategy and resolution without beginning again with entirely new counsel.
