We advise and assist clients with the full spectrum of business transactions.
Our clients benefit from our substantial experience with all types of business transactions, including sales and leases of goods and intangible property; credit transactions; and payment transactions, including checks, funds transfers, ACH transactions, and letters of credit.
Because we have long represented companies engaged in national and international businesses, we have a proven track record in successfully handling transactions that require compliance with multiple state and foreign country laws. Our experience also includes structuring deals in niche fields that require the resolution of unique issues, such as loans to retrofit buildings with energy savings equipment. We regularly coordinate with members of other Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP departments to ensure that clients in regulated industries—such as health care and transportation—comply with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Committed to providing efficient, effective representation, we streamline our services by using computerized forms as a starting point for many transactions, which allows our clients and their in-house counsel to handle many transactions directly.
