Our business is business law.  We provide sophisticated legal advice in all types of transactions, proceedings and other matters critical to our clients’ business success.

What We Do

From business start-ups to large public companies, our attorneys provide innovative legal advice that helps our corporate clients reach their business objectives.

H³GM is dedicated solely to business law.  Our practice groups generally divide into two categories: corporate transactions and commercial litigation.  To learn more about our specific areas of expertise click here.

How We Do It

We provide each H³GM client a team of experienced corporate attorneys and paralegals overseen by a lead partner who ensures efficiency, value and open communication appropriate to the matter.  While clients have access to anyone working on their matter, the lead attorney

• serves as the point person to ensure we meet all needs in a timely manner;
• updates the client on the status of their matter; and
• reviews every invoice before it goes to the client.

To ensure we can serve all of our clients’ business related transactional and litigation needs, we are members of The Law Firm Alliance - an affiliation of law firms that includes over 2,500 attorneys in more than 50 firms throughout North America and around the globe.
