Business

 
Business is complex. Your business is complex. Whether you are in a start-up mode, untangling the knots of buy-sell questions, buying or selling part or all of a business, dealing with employees, negotiating contracts, you make thousands of decisions every day.

Who do you turn to for counsel, advice and direction? Is there someone who understands you, your business and what matters to you? Who do you trust?

That is where Robinson Payne comes in. We can do the technical legal work, for sure. We help companies, business owners and executives with that all the time. Corporate governance, commercial real estate acquisition and sale, leasing, mergers, acquisitions, nonprofit organizations–we live in these and other such settings every day.

But to these legal issues we bring years of hands-on, street-smart, real-life experience, the kind of track record few lawyers have. We have bought and sold businesses, managed large staffs, retooled systems and processes. Doing what is both legal and practical makes all the difference in the world.

Robinson Payne walks with you, becoming a part of your trusted team. What we do today matters as much to us as to you, because we are never transactional, always relational–in for the long haul.
