What Makes Us Different
The uncommon advantage of transactional counsel with litigation experience
We See Every Deal From Both Directions
When businesses negotiate deals, purchase companies, raise capital, or structure complex relationships, the focus is often on forward progress and opportunity. However, the best business transactions are built with a clear understanding of what happens when things do not go as planned. That is why sophisticated companies and high-net-worth entrepreneurs prefer to hire transactional counsel that also has substantial experience in business litigation.
Stronger Contracts, Better Protections
A law firm that handles both transactions and litigation sees every deal from both directions. Transactional attorneys who litigate know how agreements actually fail: where the disputes arise, which clauses break down, and which ambiguities lead to expensive lawsuits. That experience allows them to draft stronger contracts, negotiate better protections, and anticipate issues long before they can harm the client.
Seamless Transition from Dealmaking to Dispute Resolution
When a dispute does occur, clients benefit from a legal team that already understands their business, their agreements, and the intent behind the deal. There is no learning curve. The firm can step in immediately, preserve evidence, communicate with the counterparty, and assert the client's rights without delay. This seamless transition from dealmaking to dispute resolution is invaluable for companies that operate at a high level and do not have time for inefficiency.
Consistency and Alignment
Hiring a law firm with both skill sets offers another key benefit: consistency. Your agreements, negotiations, and litigation strategies are aligned from the beginning. The attorneys who drafted your documents are the same attorneys who can enforce them. This coherence reduces risk, increases leverage, and ensures that your legal strategy supports your long-term business goals.
"The strongest deals are drafted by attorneys who know how to defend them, and the most effective litigation strategies are built by attorneys who understand how the deal was made."
