Services

GCS provides its clients with a full range of legal services to address most legal issues that will likely arise in the course of conducting your business.  GCS lawyers are able to handle most every conceivable general business and commercial contract, including key sales, distribution, licensing, sourcing, strategic alliance, service and non-disclosure (NDA) agreements.  Each lawyer is familiar with protecting and assisting in the commercialization of your intellectual property.  All are also trained in employment issues and can provide expertise in establishing standard employment, confidentiality, invention assignment and termination agreements.  For each of our clients, our goal is to compile a portfolio of standard contracts for most business needs and train the client’s staff in their use.  While nearly every contract requires legal oversight prior to execution, certain frequently used contracts such as sales and distribution agreements, non-executive employment contracts and NDAs may be handled by corporate staff.  

As seasoned corporate attorneys and in-house counsel, GCS personnel have extensive experience in nearly every type of corporate transaction.  We can not only prepare merger agreements, stock and asset sales contracts and strategic alliance agreements, but can also assist in the planning and development of business growth and finance strategies.  We can also help with real estate transactions, including purchase and sale and commercial leases.
In addition to dealing with contract requirements and corporate transactions, GCS attorneys are able to assist public companies in meeting their obligations under stringent SEC laws and regulations and stock exchange listing and corporate governance requirements. Our lawyers can help prepare, EDGARize and file periodic SEC filings such as 10Ks, 10Qs, Annual Reports, Proxy and Annual Meeting materials, as well as unscheduled filings such as Form 8Ks and Reg. FD disclosures. We can also set up a Section 16 protocol to ensure that transactions by insiders meet stringent filing requirements.
