Lawyering Upward

Sam represents small businesses and lower middle-market companies in the healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and services industries, often serving as an outside general counsel for companies without an internal legal department. Sam assists clients with business formation and structure, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, contracts, operations, regulatory compliance, commercial real estate leasing and acquisitions, and commercial disputes. He takes the time to learn about his clients’ businesses and goals so that he can be a partner with them in the long-term growth of their businesses – not just answer their legal questions.
