Helping his clients seize and capitalize on business opportunities and shepherding complex transactions to consummation are the calling cards of Nick Monaghan's practice.

His skilled counseling, dedication to clients, and commitment to keeping deals on track have resulted in the successful completion of numerous sophisticated transactions for his clients and have earned Nick a reputation as a strong and effective deal lawyer and trusted business advisor.

Nick knows what matters to his clients. They want sound, reliable counsel that helps them achieve their goals and mitigate risk. They need an attorney who understands the difference between getting in the way and getting things done. Whether quarterbacking a high-stakes deal or serving as outside general counsel, Nick leverages his extensive business and legal experience to help his clients achieve their objectives with clarity and confidence.

The purchase and sale of a business involves complex legal and financial issues, as well as multiple stakeholders, all of whom need to effectively communicate and work together to move a deal toward a satisfactory conclusion. Nick complements his substantive legal acumen with an innate ability to get all participants pulling in the same direction. This leads to efficient, cost-effective, and timely closings with minimal acrimony or delay.

In addition to his business acquisition practice, Nick represents entrepreneurs and investors in connection with their business partnerships and investments. This includes preparing and negotiating company agreements, stockholders agreements, and partnership agreements that govern long-term business relationships among owners.

Investors in private companies frequently engage Nick to review offering documents related to their potential investments. He also frequently counsels directors and officers on the formation and ongoing governance of nonprofit entities.

Nick has become an invaluable partner whose steadfast guidance and counsel have delivered consistent, positive returns for businesses and their investors.

I’ve dedicated my practice to helping my clients navigate the most crucial transactions of their lives. I take that responsibility very seriously.
