Corporate & Business Transactions

The law impacts most every strategic and operational plan of a company. From companies with multinational operations to a small start-up organization, the challenges they face require timely and industry-specific counsel that stays focused on achieving their business goals.

The Schmiedeskamp team handles complex commercial business transactions, financing, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and real estate matters, and offers tax planning counsel and general business advisory services with experience that crosses multiple industries and jurisdictions.  

The team at Schmiedeskamp has built its practice over the last 100 years by successfully helping closely-held and family-owned businesses with the unique challenges they face. Whether large or small, closely-held and family business entities require counsel with a specific skill set that also provides experienced and attentive counsel. Intra-and inter-generational issues among family members include compensation disputes, breaches of fiduciary duties, death and succession planning, integration of non-family members or professional management into the company structure, and difficulties in determining and optimizing appropriate company governance.
