Oakland Lawyers Group, PLLC
Outside Counsel with an In-House Mindset.
At Oakland Lawyers Group, we combine the depth and sophistication of a full-service business law firm with the responsiveness, practical judgment, and business focus of an in-house legal team.
ABOUT OAKLAND LAWYERS GROUP
We Work as an Extension of Your Leadership Team.
Whether you're closing a transaction, resolving a dispute, navigating an employment issue, protecting valuable intellectual property, or managing day-to-day legal challenges, we provide strategic legal counsel grounded in practical business realities. We take the time to understand the business behind the legal issue so our advice supports the client's broader objectives.
WHY OLG
A Different Approach to Outside Counsel.
Practice Areas
Sophisticated Counsel. Practical Solutions.
Outside General Counsel
For businesses that need sophisticated legal support without maintaining a full in-house legal department, OLG can serve as an extension of the leadership team. We provide ongoing counsel on contracts, employment matters, risk management, disputes, corporate governance, strategic transactions, and the everyday legal issues that come with operating a business.
Business & Corporate Law
We advise businesses, owners, and executives on the legal issues that arise throughout the life of a company. From entity formation and corporate governance to contracts, strategic relationships, and day-to-day business matters, we provide practical counsel focused on protecting the business and helping it move forward.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Strategic Transactions
We represent buyers, sellers, investors, and businesses in acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, restructurings, and other strategic transactions. Our attorneys help clients navigate the entire transaction—from structuring and due diligence through negotiation, documentation, and closing—with an emphasis on achieving the underlying business objective.
Commercial & Business Litigation
When business disputes arise, we combine aggressive advocacy with practical business judgment. We represent companies, owners, and executives in complex commercial litigation involving contracts, business torts, shareholder and member disputes, fiduciary duties, unfair competition, fraud, and other high-stakes business conflicts.
Employment & Executive Matters
We counsel employers on the full range of workplace issues, including employment agreements, executive compensation, policies and handbooks, restrictive covenants, employee discipline and termination, workplace investigations, and employment disputes. Our focus is helping businesses make sound decisions while managing legal and operational risk.
Real Estate
We represent businesses, owners, investors, landlords, tenants, and developers in commercial real estate matters. Our work includes acquisitions and dispositions, leasing, development, financing, ownership structures, and disputes involving commercial property.
Intellectual Property & Brand Protection
A company's ideas, brands, technology, confidential information, and other intellectual property can be among its most valuable assets. We help clients protect, commercialize, license, and enforce those assets, including trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing arrangements, confidentiality agreements, and intellectual property disputes.
Banking, Finance & Lending
We advise businesses, borrowers, lenders, and investors in commercial financing transactions. Our experience includes credit facilities, secured transactions, acquisition financing, refinancing, loan documentation, guarantees, workouts, and other financing arrangements that support business operations and growth.
