Mark Stoneman is a member of the firm’s Corporate Service practice group. His practice focuses on acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and partnerships. His background in accounting and finance helps him to ensure that these agreements are consistent with his client’s goals and expectations with respect to financial matters, which can be of critical importance in transactions of this nature.

Mark has analyzed, negotiated and documented numerous mergers, acquisitions, divestitures (nationally and internationally), joint venture agreements and financings. His acquisition experience extends to transactions where real estate is a primary or sole asset. He has acted as an outside general counsel for both large privately held companies and smaller start-ups.

In counseling clients in the preparation and negotiation of agreements, Mark translates the goals of his clients into “plain English” documents, which will be both understood by the parties and respected by the courts. During the course of such efforts, he finds that he is frequently able to resolve unanticipated conflicts before they arise. Not only does this help to avoid the prospect of costly disputes, but it can ensure that clients’ expectations with respect to the agreements will be met or exceeded.
