At Leger Ketchum & Cohoon, PLLC, our Corporate Law Practice is built on a single conviction: that sound legal counsel is not merely a safeguard — it is a strategic advantage. We partner with businesses at every stage of their lifecycle, from emerging startups navigating their first financing rounds to established enterprises executing complex cross-border transactions.

What We Do

Our corporate attorneys bring broad transactional experience and industry-specific knowledge to every engagement. We provide comprehensive legal services across the full spectrum of corporate matters, including:

• Mergers & Acquisitions — We guide clients through every phase of M&A activity, from initial due diligence and deal structuring to negotiation, documentation, and post-closing integration. Whether you are the buyer, seller, or a key stakeholder, we work to protect your interests and maximize deal value.
• Corporate Governance — We counsel boards of directors, executive teams, and shareholders on fiduciary duties, governance best practices, and regulatory compliance. Our goal is to help organizations build strong internal frameworks that reduce risk and inspire stakeholder confidence.
• Capital Markets & Securities — From private placements and venture financings to public offerings and SEC compliance, our attorneys assist clients in raising capital efficiently while meeting all applicable regulatory requirements.
• Contract Drafting & Negotiation — We draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements — including shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements, licensing arrangements, and executive employment contracts — with clarity and precision.
• Business Formation & Structuring — We advise entrepreneurs and investors on the selection and formation of the appropriate business entity—whether a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership— with an eye toward tax efficiency, liability protection, and long-term growth.
• Restructuring & Workouts — When businesses face financial challenges, our team provides practical counsel on corporate restructurings, debt workouts, and strategic alternatives to help clients navigate difficult situations with confidence.

Our Approach

We understand that legal issues rarely exist in isolation. Our attorneys take the time to understand your business objectives, industry dynamics, and risk tolerance before offering counsel. We communicate in plain language, provide pragmatic advice, and remain accessible when it matters most.

Whether you are closing a transformative acquisition, raising your next round of funding, or simply making sure your governance structure is built to last, Leger Ketchum & Cohoon, PLLC is ready to serve as your trusted legal partner.
