The practice of Commercial Transactions encompasses a broad spectrum of matters that include asset and stock acquisitions, mergers and reorganizations, joint ventures, uniform commercial code transactions, and general contractual matters. Its varied scope cuts across a wide range of commerce, industries, markets, and professions.
We offer representation at all stages of a transaction from initial strategy and structure through negotiation and drafting to successful completion of the deal. Our attorneys advise on individual commercial contracts as well as complex contractual arrangements, always with a focus on the business goals of the individual client.
Our Commercial Transactions Group is distinguished among legal practitioners in Delaware for its depth of experience, broad-based knowledge, uncommon business insight, and outstanding capability in the complexities of all interrelated aspects at each phase of the transaction. Individually and collectively, we have been singled out for legal excellence by Best Lawyers® and as “Top Lawyers” by Delaware Today, in addition to being honored around the state and nationally as leaders in business and tax related bar organizations.
With experience across the board in the structure and governance of corporate and alternative entities, strategic tax and business planning, project financing through private equity funding and bank lending arrangements, real estate, due diligence, succession and wealth transfer planning, secured transactions, and opinion practice, our Commercial Transactions attorneys bring an integrated approach to align each aspect of a transaction with the client’s stated business objectives.
Our Commercial Transactions attorneys have been instrumental in the drafting and passage of key business and tax legislation for Delaware’s corporate and alternative entities. This first-hand, cutting-edge knowledge adds to the strategic advantage of Morris James’ clients. Further, as many of our transaction attorneys are licensed in surrounding jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, we can provide comprehensive and coordinated representation in multi-state transactions.
Since each transaction has its own set of unique issues which, from time to time, transcend the broad-based experience of our dedicated transactional group, we collaborate with colleagues in other departments within Morris James to address specific concerns in related areas such as employment law, intellectual property, healthcare law, land use, and regulatory compliance. This ability to utilize as necessary the vast resources and experience accessible firm-wide throughout Morris James rounds out our available services to deliver the advantage of comprehensive, proactive, and cutting-edge representation to our clients for their business transactions.
