I enjoy helping business owners and leaders solve problems at every stage of their company's lifecycle by crafting thoughtful solutions based on their business goals and risk tolerance. Whether I'm counseling clients on a significant corporate governance matter, negotiating a significant transaction like a joint venture or M&amp;A deal, or advising on day-to-day business issues, I pride myself on providing responsive, practical legal advice that help clients advance their business goals.

contentpilot/introduction

Conor Boland is a corporate attorney who primarily advises closely held businesses, family offices (including their portfolio companies and related funds), and family-owned businesses on the legal issues they encounter throughout the lifecycle of their businesses. He works closely with business owners, leadership teams, and in-house counsel on commercial transactions, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance matters, and succession planning, providing practical guidance tailored to each client's business goals. A growing part of Conor’s practice is advising next-generation family members who are preparing to take over their family business. Many of Conor's clients rely on him as an outside general counsel or trusted extension of their in-house legal team, turning to him as a first call when legal issues arise.

core/paragraph

Corporate governance counseling is central to Conor’s work, particularly for closely held and family-owned businesses where ownership, management, and family dynamics often intersect. He advises boards of directors, management teams, special committees, officers, minority shareholders, and controlling shareholders on a variety of complex corporate governance matters, including understanding fiduciary duties’ obligations, negotiating shareholders’ agreement, and drafting buy-sell agreements. His experience at the Delaware Court of Chancery gives him a unique perspective that helps clients avoid pitfalls in this highly complex area of law and develop bespoke solutions.

Conor also completed a secondment with a family office's in-house legal team. The experience reinforced his belief that business leaders value responsive, practical legal counsel that is grounded in the realities of running a business. Today, he brings that same perspective to every client engagement, delivering responsive advice that is both strategic and practical.
