Wooden McLaughlin understands that entrepreneurs can face a host of questions and challenges. Since each client’s success is most important to us, our attorneys start by listening and striving to understand each company’s industry and challenges. We provide practical advice to help tackle the issues business owners encounter every day. Perhaps that is why many of our business clients have been with us from “day one” – they know that we put their interests first.

We represent our clients through various stages of growth in the life-cycle of their business, including:

• Business structuring and formation
• Financing, investment, and capitalization (including private placements)
• Ownership-succession planning
• Employment agreements and incentive compensation
• Contract negotiation and preparation
• Mergers, acquisitions and sales
• Ownership-restriction and buy-sell agreements
• Entity governance and management
• Tax planning
• Shareholder, partner and member disputes
• Owners’ exit strategies
