Practices
Doing business in today's legal environment has never been more challenging or complex. Corporations must contend with sweeping new regulations, changing market conditions and a tough economic climate. With a practical, business-oriented focus, Warner, Smith & Harris' corporate lawyers help guide companies through the legal thicket of today's marketplace.
Our full-service practice offers counsel on matters ranging from sophisticated financial transactions to day-to-day corporate housekeeping. We handle new business ventures, employment and labor relations, federal and state regulatory compliance, contract drafting and negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, and workouts and debt restructuring. For smaller corporations and partnerships lacking an in-house legal department, we can perform as outside general counsel, managing all the legal needs of the business. We also offer a particular expertise in debtor-creditor law, including loan workouts, foreclosures and negotiations, objections and debt reaffirmations in bankruptcy proceedings.
Our clients are as varied as the legal issues on which we advise, including banks, insurers and other financial institutions, hospitals and physician groups, real estate developers, construction companies, manufacturers, professional corporations and associations, media companies and automotive concerns. Many of our client relationships span several decades, and we have shepherded companies from their beginnings as small family or closely held firms through their development into large, publicly held corporations.
We pride ourselves on client care, making ourselves readily available and staying in close communication on every active matter. Mindful of our clients' need to manage costs, we leverage decades of collective experience to keep our legal fees reasonable and avoid overstaffing. At the same time, we excel in meeting tight deadlines on complex, multi-party transactions, a must in today's fast paced marketplace.
