Our Corporate & Transactional Law Practice
How We Approach Corporate & Transactional Law
Neal & Leroy’s corporate practice serves businesses throughout their growth and evolution. This breadth reflects an intentional approach built around long-term relationships. By working with clients over time, our attorneys develop a deep understanding of their businesses, operations, and priorities, allowing us to provide informed, practical counsel as their needs evolve and new opportunities and challenges arise.
The attorney who helps establish a business may continue to advise on acquisitions, corporate governance, and other matters, including serving as outside general.
Our corporate clients turn to us for more than individual transactions. We provide ongoing, strategic counsel and serve as an extension of their team, offering consistent access to attorneys who understand their goals and history. This approach provides the continuity and responsiveness many growing businesses need, without the cost or complexity of maintaining a full in-house legal department.
Business needs shift as a company grows, and the legal work has to shift with it. Entity formation and structuring look different for different businesses. Our attorneys adapt accordingly, tailoring counsel to where a business actually stands. We also draft and negotiate the commercial agreements that support day-to-day operations, including employment and consulting arrangements, service agreements, and vendor contracts. While these agreements may receive less attention than major transactions, they play a critical role in managing operational and legal risk. Thoughtful drafting and negotiation help protect business interests and reduce the risks of costly disputes or litigation down the road.
