  1. Willow Legal Advisors – July 2024 Firm Highlights

    Comments Off on Willow Legal Advisors – July 2024 Firm Highlights

    What a month! In July, Willow welcomed new clients, negotiated definitive agreements for long-standing clients and even made time for some fun on the golf course for a great cause. Here are a few of our favorite highlights:

    1.   Willow was thrilled to welcome a new corporate client to the firm this month that provides internet connectivity and in-flight entertainment packages to airlines across the globe. Sarah is currently serving this client as general counsel and is thrilled to be a part of such a dynamic company.

    2.   After several months of strategic planning and negotiation, Willow represented an upstream oil and gas company entering into a trade agreement for the exchange of approximately 400 net leasehold acres with another regional player in the industry.

    3.   Willow continued to build its intellectual property practice this month by working with a new client in the process of developing an online business. Willow is assisting this client in trademark strategy, design and registration and will be involved in all phases of securing and maintaining trademark protection for the business.

    4.   Over the past several months, Daniel advised a nonprofit corporation on the process of its dissolution. This was a well-funded organization, and Daniel exercised great care and creativity to ensure the organization’s funding was dispersed in a manner consistent with its charitable purpose, its bylaws and the goals of its leadership team.

    5.  Sarah and Daniel attended one of their favorite annual charitable events this month – the Medbrook Children’s Charity’s 24th annual Party with a Purpose Golf Classic. The Charity funnels the proceeds of this event directly into community initiatives and organizations providing services, medical assistance and daily necessities to children in need.

  2. Willow Legal Advisors – May 2024 Firm Highlights

    Comments Off on Willow Legal Advisors – May 2024 Firm Highlights

    For Willow, the hallmark of May was certainly helping clients navigate complex legal issues that arise in the ordinary course of their business.  Although Willow assisted clients on a few transaction closings this month, Sarah and Daniel spent most of their time in the role of “trusted advisor” by advising on complex corporate agreements, researching state and federal statutes and advising clients on how to operate in a practical and efficient manner while maintaining compliance with various applicable laws and regulations.  Here are a few of the highlights:

     

    1.    Willow advised key members of a management team on various aspects of its current compensation package in anticipation of upcoming discussions with its board of directors. Willow has many years of experience on corporate governance matters and is poised to review corporate policies and agreements among various corporate stakeholders to help our clients identify key issues and develop a strategy that is defensible and aligned with their goals and the goals of the company.

    2.    Willow prepared various securities-related documents to facilitate a privately held corporate client in accepting an investment from an international business entity. This investment secures the financing necessary for our client to advance to the next phase of its business model, and we are so excited to be part of their story.

    3.    In other securities-related work, Willow advised an established investor network on disclosure requirements that may arise in connection with certain investment activities and how to structure investments to fall within an applicable exemption from those disclosure requirements.

    4.    After assisting a client in the divestiture of substantially all its oil and gas assets earlier this year, Willow assisted this client in the sale of its remaining real and personal property and in the provision of seller-backed financing to the buyer. The combination of these two transactions allowed the sole owner of the business to start what is hopefully a long and healthy retirement.

    5.    On May 13, Willow celebrated its 5th anniversary of being in business! Here are a few words from Willows’ founder, Sarah Moore.

  3. Willow Legal Advisors – April 2024 Firm Highlights

    Comments Off on Willow Legal Advisors – April 2024 Firm Highlights

    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.
