Corporate & Securities
In today's highly competitive marketplace, strategic legal counsel is more important than ever. Maslon's Corporate & Securities attorneys not only know the law, they know business inside and out—leveraging professional backgrounds in accounting, consulting, management, government, entrepreneurship, and board service to help corporate clients effectively balance legal risks and requirements with business needs.
Ranked by Chambers USA as having one of the region’s leading M&A practices, Maslon is known for providing tailored, attentive, and cost-conscious representation aimed at overcoming obstacles and getting the deal done. We assemble right-sized, dedicated teams for every transaction, with the right blend of expertise in corporate, tax, employment, finance, intellectual property, and more.
As outside general counsel for a wide range of companies, we also draft and negotiate all manner of commercial contracts and provide guidance on entity formation, governance, employment, privacy, IP, and bank and equity financing. Maslon also has a long history of providing tax, employment, and other corporate advice to nonprofits, including some of the region’s leading private foundations, arts organizations, and faith communities.
Maslon is among the largest full-service law firms in Minnesota, but one of few to resist merger with a national firm. Our independence provides corporate clients with distinctly “high touch” service, judicious staffing, and significant value for fees. Past clients have described us as proactive and nimble, praising our responsiveness, collaborative culture, lack of arrogance, and unique ability to relate to founders.
Think of us as experienced advisors who understand your business, care about your vision, and stand by you—not in your way. Like a good partner should, we will be easy to work with, cost-conscious, and equally concerned with anticipating issues as we are with developing solutions that will help you succeed. That is why businesses of all types—startups, closely held firms, and multinational corporations across a wide range of industries—have relied on Maslon for sophisticated and comprehensive counsel for 80 years.
