McDonald Hopkins LLC

Our inter-disciplinary team counsels early- and growth-stage companies, capital providers and entrepreneurs to help them capitalize on business opportunities and commercialize technologies. We have extensive experience in private capital transactions, technology transfer, intellectual property protection, tax, labor and employment, and health law.

From the formation and planning stages of a new enterprise to the structuring and negotiation of investment transactions, our attorneys help advance the long-term vision of both the company and the investor. As much as investment capital, new enterprises need human capital and strategic partners to grow. We leverage our network of relationships to help our clients secure these resources.

In the transactional arena of the private equity area, our attorneys are experienced in a wide range of matters, including the planning and formation of business start-ups, joint ventures, spin-offs, private offerings, initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, compensation and benefits programs, outsourcing relationships, the acquisition and development of intellectual property rights, and the creation and implementation of investment strategies and structures.

We regularly counsel and advise funds and individuals seeking to establish funds. In order to properly counsel clients, we regularly bring together a team of attorneys who have vast experience in entity formation, securities, tax, and other relevant areas to ensure we provide the fund and its founders the best possible advice to secure success. In addition to representation of funds, our attorneys routinely refer opportunities to funds, which enhances our ability to provide alternatives to our emerging companies and entrepreneurs seeking capital.
