Business Law
Morris Laing’s business clients range from local entrepreneurs to national corporations. These clients look to the firm for legal services relating to virtually every phase of their business, including planning, development and operations. Our expertise has assisted companies with raising capital, evaluating tax considerations, and executing mergers and acquisitions.
Since the time of the firm’s founding, the small- and medium-sized business client has served as the mainstay of our practice. Morris Laing was recognized early in its history as a leader in representing the interests of independent oil and gas exploration companies. Over the years, our expertise in business law has grown to encompass other areas including banking, employment, taxation, securities, antitrust, energy, bankruptcy and creditor’s rights, intellectual property, ERISA and employee benefits, real estate transactions and land use, secured lending, healthcare and public utilities. Today, our business clients also count on us for help in matters as diverse as the formation of new business entities, franchising, contract negotiations and securities representation.
