Corporate

Overview

“‘You never want for a lawyer with a particular skill...They’re very responsive, they manage their relationships very well and they communicate well.’”

― Client feedback, Chambers USA

Your company’s future depends on its continued growth and financial health. Transactions are the backbone, but many other factors contribute to keeping your business on an upward trajectory. From routine M&A deals to sound corporate governance to high-profile capital-raising efforts, you need a well-rounded strategy supported by legal and compliance frameworks that mitigates risk and makes the most of every opportunity.

Blank Rome’s corporate and transactions attorneys offer sound legal and business advice, from day-to-day management and strategic planning to paving the way for a once-in-a-lifetime deal. Whether it be securing financing through a bank, identifying the most effective tax structure, or raising capital through a private equity fund, we have the know-how to address your specific needs.

We advise multinational corporations, Fortune 500 companies, emerging businesses, small businesses, and everything in between. Our corporate capabilities are bolstered by nationally recognized litigation, tax, securities, and finance attorneys.
