Corporate Practice Overview

For more than a century, Stoel Rives has partnered with businesses to navigate complex corporate matters with precision and foresight.

Our Corporate practice provides strategic guidance at every stage of the business and investment lifecycle. We represent companies, investors, and financial institutions in mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital transactions, public and private financings, joint ventures, fund formations, corporate governance, SEC compliance, and commercial contracting. Clients turn to us not only for our technical acumen but also for our ability to anticipate challenges and unlock opportunities in an evolving marketplace.

We work with a broad range of industries, including energy and natural resources, technology, agribusiness, manufacturing, logistics, retail, hospitality, transportation, construction, real estate, consumer goods, and insurance.
