Legal Writing & Research

services available to attorneys

We are experienced in both litigation as well as transactional matters. Presently, our project load composition is approximately 72% litigation-related, and 29% transactional-related. These percentages fluctuate from time to time, but in general, more of our projects involve litigation matters than transactional situations.

Litigation Services:
Our scope of litigation-related services ranges, beginning at the most rudimentary level, an always-open invitation for you to call and talk with one of our Senior Editors. Maybe you just want to bounce a legal theory off someone for the benefit of their thoughts, or “brainstorm” in more depth about what might be the best approach, theory, or strategy in a particular factual scenario. At the other end of the spectrum, we are equally equipped to fully brief an appeal on your behalf before the United States Supreme Court. In between these two extreme ends, we can assist with document and privilege reviews; the drafting of complaints, cross-complaints, motions to dismiss, demurrers, motions to strike, interrogatories, requests for admissions, notices of depositions, demands for production of documents, demands for physical inspections of premises as well as medical and psychological examinations of litigants and witnesses, applications for provisional remedies, motions for whole or partial summary judgment, jury instructions, appellate briefs, petitions for writs of mandamus or prohibition, and, in general, just about everything you might need to either prosecute or defend your client’s case.

Transactional Services :
We have structured and drafted all of the necessary documents for a wide variety of transactional situations, including, to name just a few, public offerings registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission; public offerings exempt from SEC registration but still subject to state “blue sky” regulations; private placement Offering Circulars for both debt and equity capital; shareholders’ agreements; partnership agreements; REITs (real estate investment trusts); the establishment and operation of family partnerships; the sale, purchase, or other disposition of various types of business interests; recourse and non-recourse project financing arrangements; intellectual property protection mechanisms such as copyright, trademark, and trade name registrations at both the federal and state levels; international trade agreements and their associated financing guarantees for transactions between businesses located in two or more separate countries; estate planning instruments including wills, trusts, gifts, and other tax minimization techniques; the establishment of all types of business entities ranging from simple corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies to federally-chartered bank holding companies; the structuring and documentation of tax-oriented transactions such as, for example, tax-deferred exchanges under Internal Revenue Code § 1031; franchise syndications; time-sharing arrangements involving both real and personal property (e.g., airplanes); complex warranties covering esoteric products such as wind turbine generators (“WTGs”); agreements establishing insurance and re-insurance protection; the creation and perfection of security interests in both common assets (e.g., real property, equipment, accounts receivable, etc.) as well as not-so-common assets (e.g., U.S. chartered oceangoing vessels, which require a “preferred ship mortgage”), and other types of transactional scenarios too numerous to list fully here.
