Professionals who work in professional service firms have special needs.  They must take into account the special regulations and professional standards that govern their profession at many stages of their business: when forming their businesses, acquiring or selling  professional practices, entering into shareholder agreements, admitting partners, and planning succession to the next generation of owners.  We’ve worked for decades with professional service firms to meet those needs.
