OUR APPROACH

Businesses trust GEM Advocates to handle their corporate transactions and navigate business complexities because our lawyers understand business, we get deals done and we take our clients' business personally. Our seasoned business and corporate lawyers have extensive experience guiding companies through a wide range of business transactions and corporate governance issues, from simple contracts to sophisticated multi-party mergers and asset sales. We regularly counsel entrepreneurs, family business owners, private and publicly held corporations, and local, regional and national businesses.

We routinely advise on corporate restructuring and tax planning matters, represent borrowers and lenders in bank and private financing and equity offerings, and advise buyers and sellers in real estate and corporate asset purchases. Our lawyers, are well-versed in the tax implications of corporation strategies at different stages of maturity.

Our clients expect not only sound advice, but also valuable results. Our attorneys have an impressive track record for consistently closing business deals. While other business lawyers focus too heavily on the elimination of risk and ultimately "kill the deal" with delays or concerns, our lawyers help clients understand and minimize risk to an acceptable level so that the deal can close and business can progress. Our creative solutions enable our clients to operate their businesses, remain competitive, and achieve success so they can feel confident and assured.

At GEM Advocates, we take a personal approach to every client engagement. Our lawyers invest the time to learn our clients' business and industry so that we can proactively offer sound advice and effective planning strategies throughout the development and evolution of our client's business. As a result of the trusted relationships we build with clients, many businesses come to utilize our firm as their outside general counsel. Moreover, several have asked our lawyers to join their corporate advisory boards, to regularly attend board of directors' meetings, or in some cases to set regular office hours at the client's operational headquarters. This personal approach to our clients' business fosters long-standing client relationships.
