Commercial Transactions

Spencer Crain's corporate lawyers bring a wealth of experience to all aspects of commercial transactions, from business-changing strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, and divestitures to everyday management of necessary products and services. We have a special focus on technology-related transactions and our attorneys are exceptionally adept at handling emerging e-commerce issues. Transactions involving distribution and acquisition of pure technology require a new way of thinking and the attorneys of Spencer Crain are leading clients through new developments and precedents in this arena. Our clients' businesses span the globe and our representation crosses any border to go where they need to be. We also offer our unique experience in building strategic alliances with European and Asian companies.

Several of our lawyers have experience as in-house counsel at large corporations and businesses, enabling them to see each matter from a client's perspective. We work with every client to help achieve critical business goals and never let 'lawyering' interfere with meeting the objectives of the deal. We are always conscious of the client's budget and assign the proper Spencer Crain staff to complement the in-house legal team and provide the most cost effective solution.
