Corporate and Transactional Law
Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele has been able to establish a strong leadership position in the areas of transactional, corporate and tax law, by forming departments staffed with lawyers who concentrate in those areas.

- Formation of corporations, limited liability companies, general and limited partnerships and joint ventures.
- Drafting organizational documents for businesses, including shareholder and buy-sell agreements.
- Mergers and acquisitions, including asset sales, stock sales, liquidations, and spin-offs.
- Employment law, includes drafting employment agreements, non-competition agreements, and defending charges of discrimination filed with the EEOC.
