Guardianship
Business and Operations. We provide counsel on corporate structuring and practice formation, captive professional corporations, corporate governance, provider agreement review, reimbursement, Certificate of Need establishment and construction applications, tax planning, patient accounts management and collections, and patient issues including ethics, treatment decisions and guardianship.

Traffic Violations
When necessary, we prosecute disciplinary charges against teaching and non-teaching employees, including the termination of probationary employees and the defense of disciplinary action in grievance and arbitration proceedings (as well as proceedings under Education and Civil Service Law that provides “just cause” protection to public school employees). Our attorneys assist with all manner of issues that arise in the complex special education area, including those about parent and student rights, CSE procedures, formulation and interpretation of IEPs, IEP approval procedures, appeals, impartial hearings, and litigation. Other areas in which we are involved include tort actions brought by students and school personnel, and the defense of criminal and traffic violations by personnel.
Fraud
In this highly regulated arena, state and federal agencies – as well as consumers, business competitors, and others – often seek legal redress for losses arising from perceived wrongs. Well-run businesses know that handling contested matters efficiently and economically is critical to their bottom line, and that it takes experienced, skilled lawyers to resolve complex securities disputes. Our attorneys have handled a vast array of issues, including a major securities fraud and disgorgement action brought by the SEC in federal court; federal court actions arising from disputes between broker/dealer clients and companies involved in public offerings; numerous broker/customer disputes in both federal and state courts and before arbitration panels involving allegations of unauthorized trading, churning, unsuitability, and other Rule 10b-5 violations; litigation arising out of failed tax shelter investments; investigations by the SEC into alleged insider trading violations; and claims involving unsuccessful real estate limited partnerships.
Embezzlement
Restraining Order
HSE has become the firm of choice in obtaining temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions preventing the misappropriation of trade secrets. We are frequently called on to defend the enforceability of confidentiality agreements and post-employment non-competition agreements designed to safeguard the misappropriation of trade secrets and violations in the area of unfair competition.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Recognizing that many companies in this industry are start-ups, we guide clients through corporate formation and governance, Seed and Angel investments, and venture capital financings. We have substantial experience representing venture capital investors and portfolio companies in private equity transactions from seed stage and first round investments to later stage and follow-on investments. From the enterprise side, we offer a broad range of services in support of all aspects of establishing and growing the company, including business plan review, business structuring, and debt and equity financing. We routinely advise entrepreneurs and emerging businesses on the mechanisms available to them to fund their business ventures.
Mergers and Acquisitions
The attorneys in our Private Equity and Venture Capital practice area have substantial experience representing private equity and venture capital funds, portfolio companies, start-up companies and management teams in connection with leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions, venture financings, public offerings, executive compensation and other corporate matters. We also represent clients in connection with the organization and operation of funds, as well as, their respective management companies. We also regularly represent and advise private institutional investors in connection with their investments in private equity, mezzanine, venture, hedge and other funds.

We are proud of the success we’ve achieved for our clients both inside and outside the courtroom.
Unfair Competition
We represent our clients in seeking legal redress against businesses and individuals whose intellectual property – in the form of patents, trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, and trade secrets – has been infringed upon, in addition to defending them against assertions of infringement. We also defend and prosecute actions for unfair competition, and bring forth customs actions relative to the monitoring and importation of infringing goods.

Employment Discrimination
Municipal litigation frequently combines complex legal issues with sensitive matters of public perception. We shepherd our clients through the litigation process and have practiced before all courts from the local and state level to the U.S. Supreme Court. Our experience includes employment discrimination, first amendment claims, Article 78 proceedings involving challenges to the municipality’s rulings, and civil rights actions against local law enforcement officials.
