Business Divorce. Business “Pre-Nups.” Practical Solutions.
Explore Business Divorce →Many privately held companies do not need a full-time general counsel. They do, however, need someone experienced enough to recognize legal issues before they become business problems.
Curt works closely with owners and management on transactions, contracts, disputes, financing, governance, and strategic decisions.
Clients rely on Curt not simply for legal analysis, but for practical judgment and business perspective.
Explore ServicesSome matters require expertise in several areas of law or business. Curt can assemble a team of lawyers and other professionals suited to the particular matter rather than limiting clients to the resources of a single firm.
Depending on the matter, that may include specialized litigators, tax or securities lawyers, accountants, valuation professionals, financing sources, and other advisors.
The goal is simple: build the right team for the client's problem.
Whether you are considering a transaction, confronting a difficult business relationship, or looking for experienced outside general counsel, an initial conversation can help identify the issues and potential paths forward.
