The firm practices in the areas of civil litigation, real estate, employment law, and corporate and transactional matters. The breadth of the firm's experience includes both highly complex and more routine matters in a variety of areas, including employment and employee relations, professional liability (including that of attorneys, accountants and officers and directors), contract disputes, business torts, bankruptcy litigation, banking and related matters, insurance and reinsurance matters, product liability, partnership and corporate shareholder relations, e-commerce and emerging companies, federal, state and municipal regulatory matters, as well as corporate acquisitions, other corporate and financial transactions involving both publicly and privately held companies, and commercial and residential real estate transactions and real estate financing. Pursuant to ongoing retainer agreements, the firm also can provide such advice on a fixed fee basis, thus providing the client with cost certainty as well as “preventive medicine” that can help avoid significant legal problems in the future. As a result, the firm also is particularly well positioned to serve as outside general counsel to small, mid-size and larger companies that do not employ their own in-house general counsel, including under specialized retainer agreements customized to maximize the practical business benefits to the firm's clients. Throughout, TH&G is guided by the following essential principles: service, responsiveness, communication, efficiency, and placing the client's interests first. The goal remains to serve our clients' practical business needs in an efficient and cost effective manner. |
