How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Corporate Transactions Cases
Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel take a collaborative approach to corporate transactions. The firm reviews each client’s business goals, assesses the legal structure that best serves those goals, and drafts the documents needed to execute the transaction. For acquisitions, that may involve due diligence review, purchase agreement negotiation, and coordination with accountants and other professionals. For entity formation, the firm advises on the choice between LLC, corporation, or partnership, prepares operating or shareholder agreements, and handles SCC filings.
When disputes arise, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel work to resolve them efficiently—through negotiation, mediation, or litigation if necessary. The firm’s experience spans both transactional and litigation roles, so the same team that structures a deal can also enforce or defend it in court. The timeline for any matter varies with the complexity of the transaction, the responsiveness of counterparties, and the court’s calendar.
