He represents a diverse group of clients, including banks; hospitals, physicians and other healthcare entities; Fortune 500 companies; manufacturers and distributors of consumer products and housewares; and marketing, promotion, publishing and entertainment companies. In many instances he serves as a client's outside general counsel.

Steve counsels his clients in all types of corporate and business transactions that include mergers, acquisitions and other dispositions of businesses and assets; private placements; commercial transactions; healthcare transactions; real estate; ownership and entity planning; corporate and business financing, including debt and equity financing; employment and incentive plans; and supply and distribution relationships.

Additionally, he represents the development, licensing, sale and other commercialization of various appliances and medical devices as well as agreements for employee stock option and benefit plans.

On the professional entertainment and corporate sponsorship side of his practice, Steve advises on multimedia and entertainment products and content, including marketing agreements for artists, marketing programs, artist sponsorships, and concert and event tours.

Steve's extensive transactional experience allows him not only to draft all of the necessary legal documents for his clients, but also to advise them on the business decisions each transaction requires.
