Tom McLain’s Summary

My current practice as an attorney is focused on general corporate transactional work, with an emphasis on contract negotiation and preparation, mergers and acquisitions, and the formation and governance of corporations and limited liability companies. My business law experience includes representing startup companies and companies in connection with angel, private equity and venture capital investments. In connection with his active mergers and acquisitions practice, I regularly counsel clients regarding the potential review of such transactions by the antitrust enforcement authorities pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR). I also have experience in representing international companies and foreign individuals (primarily from Europe) in connection with their business investments and operations in the U.S.
