Practice Groups
Our Approach
Our Corporate attorneys offer counsel with respect to mergers and acquisitions, private securities offerings, venture capital investments, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and corporate finance transactions, including premium financings, life settlements, and related capital markets and securitization transactions.
Teamwork is a hallmark at Dorf Nelson & Zauderer. Attorneys work across practice areas to deliver optimum service to our clients and to facilitate complex business dealings. Especially crucial to the successful consummation of transactions such as mergers and acquisitions is our tradition of creating strong partnerships, not only with our clients, but with investment bankers, accountants and other advisers involved in the process.
Whether our client's business is small or large, a start-up company or an established corporation, we take the time to get to know our clients and understand their goals, as well as the industry in which their business functions.
