Corporate and Transactional Support

Our corporate and transactional services support complex matters where capital, ownership, and risk allocation are central concerns. This work often overlaps with our film and television finance practice, but also extends to select business transactions that require experienced judgment, disciplined structuring, and an understanding of how deals perform beyond closing.​

We do not function as general outside counsel for day-to-day business operations. Our focus is on transactions and structural decisions that affect investment, control, and long-term outcomes.

Entity Selection and Formation

Entity structure matters most when capital is being invested, ownership interests are being allocated, or risk is being shared among stakeholders. We advise clients on entity selection and formation with a focus on investment readiness, governance, and future transactions, rather than mere compliance.

​Our work in this area includes advising on ownership structures, control rights, capitalization, and governance provisions that must withstand future financing, acquisitions, or exits. Where appropriate, we prepare and implement the foundational documents necessary to support those objectives.

Business Agreements

Business agreements shape risk allocation, economic relationships, and control long after they are signed. We assist clients in negotiating and documenting agreements that are integral to ownership, financing, and strategic transactions.

​Our work focuses on agreements where clarity and enforceability matter most—particularly in contexts involving investment, joint ventures, management rights, and material commercial relationships. We approach these matters with an eye toward how agreements operate in practice, not just how they read at signing.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures require careful alignment of legal structure, economic terms, and execution risk. We advise clients on transactional strategy, deal structure, and documentation in connection with acquisitions and other change-of-control transactions.

​Our role includes coordinating legal diligence, structuring transactions to reflect negotiated risk allocation, and preparing definitive agreements that support efficient execution. As with our other transactional work, our focus is on transactions that must perform under real-world conditions, not merely close cleanly.
