Rajsich & Associates’ business transactions and corporate practice offers a range of counseling and transactional services to companies of all sizes and stages of the business lifecycle. Rajsich & Associates works with early-stage, emerging growth companies and entrepreneurs to navigate issues that arise in the start-up phase of a business and to build sustainable platforms from which founders and other stakeholders can achieve their goals. Rajsich & Associates also works with established businesses to provide project-specific representation as well as in the capacity of outside general counsel, handling the flow of contract, administrative, and regulatory issues of our clients as they arise. The practice further involves representing stakeholders at the end of the business cycle, through majority- and minority-interest buy-outs, asset sales, dissolutions, and other exit strategies.
