Areas of Focus
While Woolery & Co provides counsel across transactional and litigation matters, our practice is anchored in five core areas: (1) Mergers & Acquisitions, (2) Corporate Governance Litigation, (3) Activism & Constructive Engagement, (4) Direct Investment & Independent Sponsors and (5) Management, Founder & Family Representation.
These disciplines share a common demand: counsel with corporate finance fluency, able to navigate the substance of a deal—and the disputes that stem from it—with the same skill as its legal framework.
Because these areas are highly strategic in nature, they require a law firm that thinks like a principal, sets direction and orchestrates the full range of advisors and resources needed for execution. This approach aligns with our performance-based fee model, under which we are compensated for the results we deliver rather than the hours devoted to developing and executing strategy.
