General Corporate

If your company has a legal need, we can help.

The Stock Legal corporate practice focuses primarily on small to mid-sized businesses. Because of that focus, we have deep experience in building strategies and legal tools to prevent issues and mitigate risk.

From formation to exit, we serve our clients in all areas of the business cycle. We pair our years of experience with flexible/fixed fee arrangements that work for most businesses, regardless of size or maturity.

In-house counsel brings incredible strategic value to a company, but with that value comes the overhead expense of bringing that talent on as an employee of the company. At Stock Legal, we give you that same value by becoming a trusted member of your team, without the major overhead costs.

We serve our clients in all areas of the business life cycle, from formation to exit. We pair our years of experience with flexible fee arrangements that work for most businesses, regardless of size or maturity.

Our corporate practice assists clients in all aspects of the business life cycle including:

  • Entity Formation and Dissolution
  • Corporate Governance
  • Capital Raise
  • Financing
  • Employment
  • Contracting (drafting and negotiation)
  • General Corporate
  • Exit Planning Strategy
  • External General Counsel Services
  • Incentive Equity Compensation
  • Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Data Privacy and Information Security
  • Dental Service Organizations

For start-ups and early stage companies, we offer a number of legal services for a fixed fee.

What we offer:

Entity Formation

Preparing and filing all the documents you need to legally form your business—on top of everything else you have to do to get your business off the ground—can feel overwhelming. But it’s essential that you get those documents right from the start.

Capital Raise

Raising capital can be one of the most important activities your start-up or emerging company engages in. It can also be one of the most hazardous if you don’t have the right legal support in place.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Stock Legal has developed a mergers and acquisitions practice focused on serving as your trusted advisor, whether you are planning an exit or looking to grow through a merger or acquisition.

Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)

Stock Legal offers expert guidance to businesses in complying with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which mandates new filing requirements for disclosing "beneficial ownership" information. With their deep expertise in corporate law, Stock Legal's attorneys assist clients in understanding and meeting these obligations, ensuring that businesses remain fully compliant.

Dental Service Organizations (DSO)

Stock Legal provides comprehensive legal services for dentists and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), offering expertise in new practice formation, buying and selling practices, and building incentive equity programs. They specialize in structuring DSOs, managing legal aspects related to employment and real estate, and advising on growth strategies such as mergers and acquisitions.

Cannabis

It’s not often that an entirely new practice area comes into being during a lawyers career.  Because it is so new, Stock Legal didn’t officially enter into this new industry until we had attorneys on our team with real experience, both in representing cannabis companies and in building them.
