Marc Boiron

A significant number of California companies are incorporated in Delaware.  This means that when large sums of money are involved - raising capital, acquiring a business, restructuring a business, completing a leveraged buyout, implementing equity compensation - you want Delaware law expertise to avoid problems.  The same is true when little money is flowing but the stakes are high - corporate governance issues, family business disputes, forming an entity - Delaware law expertise is key.

You want a Delaware lawyer who can guide you through not only the complexities of Delaware law, but of equal importance, the differences with California law.  Ideally, your lawyer will have the backing of a full-service California law firm.

·         Buying companies through acquisitions, stock purchases and asset purchases

·         Restructurings and recapitalizations

·         Leveraged buyouts

·         Strategic alliances

·         Corporate governance (including oversight issues, such as cybersecurity risks)
