Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) transactions are multifaceted, requiring careful legal oversight for success. Many companies, especially those without large in-house legal teams, are turning to fractional general counsel (FGC) services to traverse this intricate process.

In federal appellate litigation, the term amicus curiae, or "friend of the court," refers to a person or organization that isn't a part of the case but offers information, experience, or arguments to assist the court in making its decision.

As businesses grow and face increasing legal challenges, having access to experienced legal guidance becomes essential. However, hiring a full-time in-house general counsel may not always be financially viable or necessary, especially for smaller or mid-sized companies.

Appeals offer an opportunity to correct legal errors made during a trial, but success depends on careful planning and adherence to strict procedural rules. Preparing thoroughly is critical to making the most of this process. At Sigall Law Firm in Chillicothe, Ohio, I aim to help clients prepare for effective arguments.
