Legal Experts with Business Acumen
We truly believe that your business deserves more than just another legal advisor. It deserves expert business attorneys that treat your business as if it was their own. And it deserves bottom-line advice based on your specific goals and the right legal strategies to achieve them. We explore how our clients operate their businesses so we can collaborate with them to maximize their profit and minimize risk. We understand our role and know that our job is not to run your business or make decisions for you, but rather to identify risks, provide your options and our suggested path forward and to forcefully execute your directives. Our direct and transparent approach has built deep and longstanding business relationships because our clients know we care and we get results.
From high-stakes business transactions to bet-the-business litigation, our seasoned New York business attorneys can provide expert advice on multiple levels, including:
· Complex Litigation. We have successfully represented publicly-traded companies and business owners in high-stakes litigation in federal and state courts and arbitration throughout the country. We are trial lawyers, and our adversaries understand that we are tactical, aggressive and expect to win.
· Business Law. We have helped clients sell and acquire businesses for tens of millions of dollars. From formation through acquisition, we draft and review contracts, protect your intellectual property, conduct due diligence and protect our clients’ businesses.
· Commercial Real Estate and Development. Our clients have bought and entitled real estate for projects budgeted in the hundreds of millions of dollars. And we routinely assist them with their commercial leases, acquisitions and sales and financing needs. In addition, we provide outside counsel to banks and private lenders.
· Securities Law. We advise issuers, investors, private equity funds, venture capital firms and hedge funds on compliance with blue sky and federal securities laws. We advise on common, preferred and founder stock as well as secured, unsecured and convertible debt in deals valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
· Reviewing contracts and verifying the enforceability of key provisions.
· Energy. We have assisted clients in a vast array of energy businesses and projects that involve legal and contractual guidance as well as regulatory and litigation support from solar array installations to natural gas power plant acquisitions. We work side-by-side with the most sophisticated parties and counterparties to reach our clients’ goals.
· Cannabis. We’ve helped clients with CBD and medical cannabis license applications and work with a host of companies from seed to sale to apply for and operate adult-use cannabis operations and supporting industries.
Business Evolves. So Do We.
The business landscape is rapidly evolving. For instance, the legalization of recreational marijuana in New York, the surging cryptocurrency industry, and the evolving energy sector have created a demand for new goods, services and investment opportunities. To explore and benefit from these new sectors, you need help from an equally dynamic and unconventional business law firm. At Wagoner PLLC, our entire team has an entrepreneurial and forward-thinking mindset with a mastery of the applicable laws. We have helped clients navigate the emerging regulatory requirements of the cannabis industry, led clients through the minefield of cryptocurrency regulation, assisted clients with setting up nine-figure opportunity zone funds and managed sophisticated projects.
If you’re exploring these markets or a new industry, we would love to talk to you about working together to turn your vision into a reality. Our team will meet your needs in a skilled, professional and cost-effective manner.
