Real Estate and Development

The firm's real estate attorneys have been representing clients in sophisticated, large-scale real estate transactions in the Retail and Consumer Products sector for more than 25 years, along with our corporate attorneys that provide project finance counsel. Additionally, ML Strategies professionals help these clients with strategic planning and related professional services in government, community and media relations, aimed at successfully navigating project-related real estate development and environmental issues.

Intellectual Property and Business Transactions

Although we have extensive real estate and development expertise in the Retail and Consumer Products industry, our clients also look to us to provide comprehensive Intellectual Property advice. This representation includes trademark prosecution and protective services for designers and manufacturers of retail goods, licensing and distribution agreements, and corporate and financial transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, public offerings, venture capital, strategic alliances, and joint ventures.

Employment and Immigration

Our employment  and immigration attorneys assist a broad range of the firm's retail clients in  developing employment policies and documents, handling complicated employee relations issues, and preparing employee compensation and executive benefits plans. Our immigration professionals work with clients to ensure that the best talent is available for their operations, including securing visas for designers and skilled manufacturing employees.

Bankruptcy and Reorganization

Economic circumstances have also caused some prominent retail clients to call upon us for bankruptcy-related services. We have guided these distressed organizations through sales, dissolutions and reorganizations, and provided comprehensive media relations throughout the proceedings.

Public Relations

ML Strategies has provided significant assistance to retail associations and retailers in a variety of areas, including promoting ballot initiatives, developing comprehensive community and media relations programs, and advocating legislative change to the legislature, executive branch and government agencies and regulatory bodies.
