Business Strategy & Management
Many of our corporate attorneys have served as general counsel at privately-held, equity-backed and public corporations. We leverage this experience to effectively counsel both established and emerging businesses as they grow.
Strategic Thinking & Insight
At Wilchins Cosentino & Novins, our business law practice is designed to serve as our clients’ legal counsel, providing ongoing business advice and strategy working alongside the rest of the leadership team. Our clients rely on us for our business acumen, insight and strategic thinking.
Business Advisory Services
As business attorneys, we address ongoing governance concerns and provide business advisory services for a wide range of business questions ranging from long-term strategic plans, ongoing business decisions such as buy vs. build, evaluation of business opportunities and risks as needed, and the creation and use of Boards of Advisors for operational challenges, long term planning, and management and control planning and transitioning.
From Formation
to Exit Strategies
Taking a highly personalized concierge approach, our business attorneys guide our clients with sound, pragmatic legal solutions. We work closely with founders, directors and managers of private and family-held businesses on both strategic and day-to-day business matters.
