Transaction Facilitation

We get deals done without manufacturing problems to justify the bill. We structure, draft and negotiate with an operator’s eye for what matters once the deal closes.

Negotiate With Your Endgame In Mind

Most transactions are decided in the structure rather than the argument. We work on the terms that determine who controls the business afterward, how and when the money actually moves, and what each side is left holding if the market turns. Where a deal needs to move quickly, we keep it moving.

Frank has sat on the principal’s side of these transactions as a founder, operator and investor, not only at counsel’s end of the table. That is the difference between a document that closes and a document that still works three years later.

Mergers, Acquisitions & Capital

Buying or selling a business, angel and venture investment, corporate acquisitions, and private placements raising growth, expansion or acquisition financing. We also work through restructuring, refinancing and recapitalization where that serves the owner better than a sale, and handle valuations and fairness opinions when a decision has to be defensible.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial transactions only. We examine the legal, revenue and tax implications of the deal in front of you, negotiate terms and price, and review the financing documents and instruments before anything gets signed.

Franchise & Licensing

Whether to franchise or license your business, or to become someone else’s franchisee or licensee, and what each choice costs you in control and economics. We work through the model, then examine and negotiate the agreements.
