Trusted Business & Corporate Law Firm in Detroit & Bloomfield, MI

At Hertz Schram PC, our corporate practice group represents businesses of all sizes, from sole proprietorships to large, multi-national corporations. For over 40 years, we have undertaken and completed transactions of every variety, domestically and internationally, drawing upon our considerable experience and expertise. We represent businesses in numerous industries, including securities, communications, banking, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, software, technology, media and entertainment. Our core services span the universe of business transactions.

Businesses, like people, experience life cycles, enjoying periods of success and fulfillment and enduring downturns and the vagaries of business that challenge even the most resilient. And, like their human counterparts, businesses require therapeutic guidance and direction, during times both good and bad, to maximize and sustain their prosperous cycles and minimize and abbreviate any cyclical downtowns. At Hertz Schram, we value our roles as “counselors” and not just technically-skilled practitioners. Drawing upon our considerable experience that enables both skill sets, we offer a customized value-added approach that distinguishes us from most other law firms.

How Do Our Business Lawyers Achieve the Best Results in Michigan?

To achieve the best results, we work collaboratively, borrowing from our treasure trove of experience and knowledge while continuing to welcome innovative and fresh ideas. We also pride ourselves on delivering a level of personal service that rises above the rest, a quality that further distances us from our competitors. Our “deskside” manner clients find both appealing and comforting, particularly when the stakes of the engagement are substantial, and the complexities of the transaction would befuddle the sharpest minds.

Our group of transactional attorneys includes CPAs, tax experts, industry-specific specialists, and former IRS agents who, collectively, share a wealth of knowledge acquired over 200 years of practical experience. We are living proof that Aristotle was right – “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

Mergers and Acquisitions

Hertz Schram’s corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practice offers an array of complementary services necessary to effectuate your M&A objectives. Our M&A attorneys represent buyers and sellers of all shapes and sizes and across numerous industries in complex negotiations and transactions resulting in the acquisition, sale, or merger of a business via a transfer of assets or equity. We relentlessly seek alternative pathways to closings that accomplish your principal objectives. We manage all aspects of the process, from negotiation and evaluation to compliance with securities and other regulatory requirements.

Few transactions enable the transformative power of mergers and acquisitions. Securing the right deal, in line with your objectives, can result in a substantial increase in efficiency, profitability and growth, or your prosperous exit toward retirement or the next venture. To negotiate or evaluate a merger or outright purchase of another business, an attorney must understand the operations and dynamics of their client’s business, and the synergies and economies of scale achievable through the contemplated transaction.

We not only provide drafting and technical expertise, but we assist in normalizing the target’s financial statements, valuing the target, performing legal, business and operational due diligence, and ensuring that you achieve your economic and strategic objectives. Our breadth of services and depth of knowledge, coupled with our consummation of countless M & A transactions over several decades, uniquely qualifies us to maximize the value of your transaction, whether that value takes the form of reorganizing or re-positioning the business to improve its prospects or simply maximizing the proceeds received upon sale.

Our family has relied on attorney Jeffrey Robbins to guide us through multi-generational matters for over three decades. In that time, we have sought his counsel if all facets of our business and personal tax and estate planning issues, culminating in the sale of our company and continuing to represent us in all personal and business matters.
