For Willow, there was no shortage of variety in April! We provided legal services to Texas and West Virginia-based companies and assisted with transactions in numerous states and countries. We served for-profit and non-profit companies and clients in the oil and gas, water treatment, manufacturing and bio-tech industries. We negotiated numerous types of commercial agreements and assisted with various potential transactions. It was an exciting month, and we are excited to share a few highlights:
1. Willow was thrilled to welcome a new Texas-based bio-tech company as a client this month. As this client grows and takes on new investors, Willow will advise on various securities and governance related legal matters.
2. Willow assisted clients in both Texas and West Virginia in negotiating various commercial agreements, including gas processing agreements, subcontractor agreements and master service agreements. Many of these agreements start as form documents, however, Willow approaches each form with due regard to the actual work being performed to ensure that the agreement reflects the parties’ intent, and that risk is appropriately allocated between the parties.
3. Willow routinely represents private equity clients in the early phases of evaluating potential transaction opportunities and, in April, Willow negotiated over 100 diligence-related documents! These agreements related to private debt transactions as well as equity investment opportunities throughout the country and even the world.
4. Closing transactions and negotiating agreements is essential to Willow’s continued success, however, it is such a pleasure when our clients call us to get our “thoughts on an idea” or to “help prepare for a meeting.” We care so much about the health and well-being of our clients, as businesses and as individuals, and it is the ultimate compliment to be asked to advise on issues beyond the four corners of a legal document. This happened numerous times this month, and we are so grateful to have the trust of our clients.
5. On April 1, Ryan Badmaev joined Willow as a summer associate! Ryan will graduate from WVU Law School in May, and we are eager to have him as part of the team.
