Corporate

Paul Hastings’ corporate practice has more than 450 attorneys in 18 offices around the world who serve clients in globally coordinated, multidisciplinary teams. Our corporate department is the largest in the firm and continues to grow, not only in number of deals and revenue volume, but in the scope of services we offer.

Establishing our practice in key markets allows us to participate in and advise on an enormous array of domestic and cross-border transactions. We understand local business issues, we have performed similar work there before, and we are able to identify new approaches and develop new products, when needed. Neither geographic borders nor disciplinary boundaries impede the collaboration of our corporate attorney teams.  

Although the large-scale transactions and major corporate mergers that we participate in often garner the most headlines, corporate law comprises far more than just transactions. Our practice includes a multitude of legal disciplines concerned with how a business organizes and conducts itself financially. Our attorneys advise clients in all phases of the business cycle, from advising startup companies in search of financing, to representing clients in transactions and ongoing capitalization efforts, to serving as counsel in ongoing corporate governance.

• Asset securitization and structured finance

• Commercial lending and institutional finance
• Corporate counseling
• Intellectual property and technology
• Mergers, acquisitions, dispositions and joint ventures
