Hellmuth & Johnson’s General Business & Corporate Practice Group serves the diverse legal needs of our clients presented by the day-to-day operation of their businesses.  Specifically, we assist our clients with such matters as:

• Customer and vendor/supplier contracting
• Facilities expansion and contraction
• Capitalization and financing
• Purchasing and selling assets
• Workforce management and asset protection
• Entity governance and management
• Legal and business counseling and crisis management
• Owner conflict resolution and split-ups

We have represented clients in a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and distribution to service, with a particular concentration in real estate and construction, healthcare, technology, printing and publishing, entertainment and hospitality.  Our clients include the full array of business organizations, from individual entrepreneurs and small businesses to multinational public companies.

Our General Business & Corporate Practice team is committed to achieving our clients' objectives while consistently exceeding their expectations in each and every aspect of the services we provide. The combination of our passion for excellence, and the inherent flexibility and efficiency of our expanding practice, makes us a contemporary alternative to the traditional “downtown” law firm model. 

What does this mean for our clients?  The highest quality legal services delivered in a responsive, cost-effective manner by experienced professionals who understand your needs.

Typically, for those clients without internal legal resources, we serve as "outside" general counsel, fulfilling the role of business advisor while servicing a broad range of legal needs.  For companies that have an internal legal staff, yet require specific support to service certain legal needs, we provide the appropriate expertise, experience and focus to enable them to achieve their legal and business objectives.  In either case, the real-world experiences of our team members allow us to deliver practical solutions and counsel, rather than mere legal theory.

The members of our General Business & Corporate Practice Group collectively possess a wealth of experience that can be drawn upon as needed to meet specific client needs. Several members have served as in-house counsel, in-turn gaining a deep appreciation of the unique challenges faced by internal counsel. Others bring complimentary professional experiences and perspectives, including concentrated experiences in select industries. 

This depth and breadth of experience provides us with a pragmatic understanding of the many operational and legal issues faced by business clients, and allows us to add value by being our client's trusted business and professional advisor in addition to serving as their legal representative.
