At Clark Hill we have earned a reputation as a firm that excels in anticipating and responding to changing market conditions. The Clark Hill Corporate Law practice group prides itself on getting transactions to the finish line by guiding clients past barriers swiftly and helping them adapt to regulatory change. It starts with aligning skills to each client’s style, needs and circumstances then moving onward to champion proactive strategies that advance our clients’ business objectives. For the Clark Hill Corporate Law practice group, it is all about full service efficiency and effectiveness in providing creative strategic solutions to legal issues. Our business lawyers regularly draw upon the knowledge of other practice groups throughout the firm to provide complete strategies and solutions.

With lawyers residing in many of the country’s major metropolitan areas, we offer a compelling combination of corporate experience, exceptional service, and value to clients across a wide range of industries. Our corporate and transactional attorneys represent public and private companies, non-profit organizations, financial institutions, private equity funds, government entities, investors and emerging companies in domestic, cross-border, and global corporate matters.

We advise clients on everything from day-to-day compliance and reporting requirements to complex, high-stakes transactions and long-term business objectives. Our team also organizes joint ventures, general and limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other entity forms, as well as regular and non-profit corporations, for clients of all sizes.

We regularly advise boards of directors and board committees on a wide variety of governance and disclosure issues, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Clark Hill lawyers have also counseled several clients in connection with voluntary disclosures under a variety of federal and state statutes.

Clark Hill is a multidisciplinary, international law firm that draws on our attorneys’ comprehensive industry and policy knowledge and a global network of industry advisors and subject-matter experts to provide innovative legal solutions and client-service excellence worldwide. Our work is guided by our deeply-held shared values, including practicality, entrepreneurship, mutual respect, diversity, ethical behavior and a commitment to client and community service.

One of the largest firms in the United States — with more than 650 attorneys and professionals in 25 offices, spanning the United States as well as Dublin and Mexico City, we are a committed partner to a diverse range of leading brands, forward-thinking businesses, public entities, nonprofit organizations and individuals. Our significant presence in Washington, DC, and our deep government relations and public affairs experience at every level help ensure that our clients’ voices are heard in the development of federal and state regulatory policy and legislation.

Our investment in new service lines and programs — such as HR/Advantage, Information Governance 360, Reputation Governance 360 and Conrad Consulting  — further reinforces our ability to develop and deliver coordinated legal, business, and political strategies that achieve business success.

Clark Hill is built upon a core set of values that guide us in our relationships with our clients, our interactions with each other, and our connection to the communities in which we serve. These values have a real and lasting impact on the way we conduct our business, the way we treat our clients and colleagues, and the way we go about growing our firm. We believe these values come into play in each and every client experience, and they are essential to the ultimate success of our lawyers and our firm.
