Corporation and Business

The corporate and business practice is one of the most significant areas of the firm's practice. The practice encompasses a broad range of legal services for business, professional, and non-profit entities of all types and sizes, including publicly-traded and closely-held corporations, and general and limited partnerships. The services provided to these clients include the selection and organization of the entity, the operation of the entity, employment matters, and commercial transactions of all types, including financing, contract negotiation, and the merger, acquisition and sale of businesses and their assets. The firm provides these services to entities engaged in manufacturing, financial services, real estate development, insurance, transportation, communications, construction, health care, accounting and other professional services, retail and general service industries.

In addition to providing these services to entities located in South Dakota, the firm regularly acts as local counsel for entities located elsewhere having transactions relating to South Dakota and also in connection with multi-state transactions involving South Dakota.
