Middle Market/Emerging Company

Dilworth Paxson's Middle Market/Emerging Company

In response to the tremendous growth of the middle-market and entrepreneurial business sector, Dilworth Paxson has developed and established a practice area dedicated specifically to the unique needs of business clients in this sector.

Dilworth Paxson's Middle Market/Emerging Company Group has been designed to provide full-service representation to emerging and middle-market businesses on all issues such businesses face, whether ordinary or extraordinary in nature. Our Group is comprised of astute and pragmatic business lawyers who understand the needs of middle-market and emerging businesses, and who are as diverse in their areas of expertise as the businesses they represent.

With their broad range of experience and diverse mix of clients, Group attorneys provide sophisticated representation to their business clients, rendering service at the highest level while maintaining a focus on cost efficiency. As an extra benefit to clients, the Group provides a network of contacts and referral sources that has proven to be beneficial to the growth and development of our clients' businesses.

The Middle Market/Emerging Company Group lawyers regularly provide legal services on every issue our small and mid-sized business clients may face, including:

Forming and structuring business entities
Debt and equity financings
Patent, trademark, copyright and other intellectual property matters
Preparation and negotiation of business contracts such as employment agreements, licensing and franchise agreements, distributorship and supply contracts, confidentiality agreements, non-compete agreements, brokerage agreements and service contracts
Mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic partnering
Purchase, sale, lease and management of real estate
Regulatory compliance and corporate governance
Labor and employment law matters
Employee benefits, including pension and qualified retirement plans, ERISA compliance, and health and benefit plans

Our Group understands the goals and strategies of our business clients, with whom they have developed strong and lasting relationships. Our attorneys pride themselves on providing the same level of responsiveness, dedication and commitment to excellence that these clients would expect from an in-house legal department. The services we provide extend beyond simply assisting clients with their current legal matters, rather, they include forecasting and identifying future issues and serving as a networking resource and a source of referrals. Further, we keep our clients informed of recent developments in the law and their specific industries through articles, seminars and targeted mailings.

The Middle Market/Emerging Company Group attorneys view themselves, first and foremost, as partners of their business clients, and, like any responsible partner, will attempt to approach every matter from the perspective of the client in an effort to arrive at a cost-effective solution that best serves the needs of each client.
