Business & Corporate Law
From multinational corporations to start-up ventures, we serve a vast array of business clients in industries ranging from construction and real estate to manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare and entertainment.
For clients without internal legal resources, Hellmuth & Johnson typically serves as “outside” general counsel, fulfilling the role of business adviser while servicing a broad range of legal needs. For companies that have in-house legal capabilities yet require specific support to achieve their legal and business objectives, we deliver practical solutions and counsel.
For earlier-stage ventures, our Business Compliance Solutions help you prioritize and complete your objectives with personal support from partners with deep experience in your particular industry. These innovative, cost-effective service packages meet your core legal needs at an affordable fee. Areas of focus range from entity formation and updating, to financing, health checkups and general counsel services.
Businesses that have grown to the point where they engage in mergers and acquisitions also rely on Hellmuth & Johnson. For clients ranging from individual proprietorships to publicly held multinationals, we provide sophisticated, seasoned counsel to ensure full value from their transactions.
We’re more than a legal resource. We’re experienced business people in our own right – entrepreneurs who not only know your company, but leverage deep knowledge of your industry to help you seize opportunity and manage risks. That makes us exactly the kind of partner to have on your side, at your side – at every stage of growth.
