Bruce comments: "My practice covers virtually every aspect of what a business person will encounter in the acquisition, ownership, operation and sale of the business and involves companies engaged in manufacturing, sales, distribution and franchising, and representing other professionals, including physicians, dentists, physical therapists and other attorneys and law firms. I am constantly involved in structuring employee incentive plans, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock plans and the like. I represent both publicly held and private companies and have been involved in various kinds of equity and debt offerings and refinancings in order to improve their capitalization."
"I am almost constantly engaged in representing clients who are either buying or selling a business and endeavor to assist them in ensuring the least costly tax treatment in such event. I am frequently called upon to help resolve business disputes between owners and have routinely been involved in drafting "buy-sell" agreements among the owners of a business to determine the disposition of an owner's interest in the event of a death, disability, retirement or other termination of an owner-employee's employment with a company."
"Since the beginning of my practice in 1971, I have been involved in counseling clients on computer-related problems, including advising them on contracts involving the acquisition, installation and maintenance of small and large scale computer systems. Lately, this has included e-commerce and other internet-related matters."
"My clients tell me that my strength as an attorney lies in developing creative solutions to complex problems and in quickly identifying the most direct path to a successful outcome. Over the last 30 years of my practice, there is very little which I haven't addressed on behalf of my clients. My goal is always to find the simplest workable solution which will meet a client's goals. This isn't always such a simple task, however, and it takes persistence and a strong desire not to just "let a deal happen" and be done, instead of making sure the client is protected on every important detail. In essence, the job of any good attorney is to identify the right solution and persuade the other side that your way is either the best way, or is one which your client cannot do without and won't harm the other party. Everyone uses the phrase "win-win solution" as if it's easy to find -- it's not - but this is what I believe we're good at uncovering."
