Our Proposition

We offer our clients a compelling combination of elite multi-national law firm and Fortune 100 Company in-house experience and expertise, an accessible and nimble style, and value for money. In short, top tier sophistication on a human scale.

Client Focus

We serve mid-market companies, start-ups and emerging companies, family offices, angel, VC, and private equity investors, and large companies for whom a large firm is overkill for the task at hand. We focus on overseas clients with US activities, companies expanding into or out of the US, domestic early stage companies, and investors.

Legal Services

MacDonald Weiss covers the core business-related practice areas: corporate, M&A, securities, finance, commercial, and tax. We also act as US – or global – outside general counsel, and with our extensive legal contacts within the US and around the world we can assemble the best global team our clients need to handle the job.
