Our Profile
Expertise
Since 2004, we have represented clients in complex transactional and governance matters involving Delaware business entities. Our transactional practice focuses on mergers and acquisitions, international transactions, corporate and structured finance transactions, secured transactions and transactions involving federal tax incentive programs and rendering domestic and cross-border third-party closing opinions relating thereto. Our governance practice focuses on advising management and stakeholders on their fiduciary and statutory obligations under Delaware law. We have represented boards of directors, managing members, investor members, general partners, limited partners, independent directors or managers, trustees, officers, special committees, stockholder activists and other constituents of public and private companies, including venture capital and private equity firms. The attorneys of The Delaware Counsel Group LLP (“DECG”) are actively engaged in industry organizations to deliver the level of service their clients have come to expect.
Team
Headed by founding partner, Ellisa Opstbaum Habbart, the firm’s attorneys also include Scott L. Matthews and Lisa R. Stark, both of whom have been practicing for over ten years. DECG prides itself on the knowledge and experience of its attorneys and legal staff. The focus of its practice makes it a valuable resource by providing experienced counsel in a select area of law, who are nimble and attuned to their clients’ needs. The firm’s philosophy embodies an “expert team” approach for clients who appreciate relationship-based legal services.
Structure Compatible with Clients’ Goals
Not constrained by a billable hour requirement, the firm’s attorneys provide personalized, hands-on expertise—they devote the time necessary to learn about their clients at the law firm’s expense. The success of the firm’s philosophy and its approach to doing business is reflected in the loyalty of the firm’s long-standing client base, a member of which opined that the firm’s “awareness of our business goals is exceptional” in the most recent addition of Chambers USA.
