We then apply that knowledge to develop creative legal solutions to promote your success and minimize risk.

The ability to bring the experience and perspective of more than 50 transactional attorneys positions us to handle a large number of deals each year across multiple industries.

Corporate Transparency Act

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) was enacted as an expansion of federal anti-money laundering laws and became effective on January 1, 2024. The CTA introduces reporting requirements for new and existing companies formed or registered in the U.S., including corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies.

What does this mean for your company?
We've put together a comprehensive resource center including who qualifies for an exemption, how to file, and additional resources in navigating this new landscape.
