Business Law
Morris Laing’s business clients range from local entrepreneurs to
national corporations. These clients look to the firm for legal services
relating to virtually every phase of their business, including planning,
development and operations. Our expertise has assisted companies with
raising capital, evaluating tax considerations, and executing mergers
and acquisitions.
Since the time of the firm’s founding, the small- and medium-sized
business client has served as the mainstay of our practice. Morris
Laing was recognized early in its history as a leader in representing
the interests of independent oil and gas exploration companies. Over
the years, our expertise in business law has grown to encompass other
areas including banking, employment, taxation, securities, antitrust,
energy, bankruptcy and creditor’s rights, intellectual property, ERISA
and employee benefits, real estate transactions and land use, secured
lending, healthcare and public utilities. Today, our business clients
also count on us for help in matters as diverse as the formation of
new business entities, franchising, contract negotiations and securities
representation.
