We are the ultimate law firm for senior executives, founders, private clients, private capital and family offices, as well as related businesses, in both corporate and litigation matters. We take a holistic approach to the legal and business needs of our clients.

As a firm built for senior executives and founders, Sterlington understands the unique challenges faced by individuals as they build, grow, and eventually exit their companies. We also understand that individual clients are not similarly situated to the financial and other investors with which they often are negotiating. For this reason, we focus not only on the legal aspects of the deal, but on economic and financial aspects. We have sophisticated financial modeling capabilities that help our clients understand and ultimately negotiate the financial and tax aspects of their arrangements.
