Business Transactions


Successful companies are built on cultivating and maintaining competitive advantages and relationships and securing the financial resources to prosper and grow. This requires careful attention to managing employees, customers, vendors, and competitors, as well as the physical assets and technologies necessary to power products and provide services. It also requires a thorough understanding of the tax and regulatory environment in which a company operates. 

A legal advisor who understands how all of these components fit together for your company and can help you manage risk without creating impediments to success is critical.

Best Best & Krieger LLP (BBK) attorneys provide the assistance necessary for companies to build and protect their critical assets and operations. Our clients compete in local, national, and international markets in a wide variety of industries, including biomedical, aerospace, manufacturing, retail, technology and telecommunications, medical and other professional services, construction, automotive, agri-business, real estate, and many others. We offer counsel throughout our clients’ business lifecycle, from pre-formation considerations through all growth stages, including succession planning and sale.

We are available and responsive when clients need us, and we pride ourselves on offering personal service and outstanding attention to detail at affordable rates.
