Business & Corporate Transaction Attorneys

At Sands Anderson, we are known for our commonsense approach to business transactions and valued for responsive legal counsel that makes plain business sense.

Our corporate transactional lawyers advise on all areas of business and corporate law, from entity formation, to negotiating, documenting, and closing business contracts, agreements, and other partnerships. Our clients rely on us to help them grow and expand their businesses through mergers, acquisitions, strategic structuring, joint ventures, capital raising, buyouts, buy-ins, recapitalizations, business break-ups, settlements, and divestitures.

We also offer guidance on corporate governance protocols, asset protection strategies, and corporate real estate transactions, delivering practical, problem-solving solutions for our clients' business challenges.

While our business attorneys regularly serve as local, regional, and general counsel to corporations doing business throughout the Mid-Atlantic and beyond, we also act as small business attorneys to start-ups, fast-growth ventures, and family-owned businesses. We aim to ensure our clients consider us their business advisory partners, working with them through the challenges of owning and operating any type of business enterprise, from the ordinary to the complex in all industries.
