Smart Counsel's transactional attorneys can negotiate anywhere from simple agreements to more complex transactions on behalf of our clients.

Our approach to assisting clients with strategic planning uses S.M.A.R.T. strategic planning tools to help identify a client's desired outcome and assist in project planning to achieve the goal most efficiently and cost-effectively.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound efforts.
Smart Counsel uses the S.M.A.R.T. method to focus our efforts on setting specific and measurable goals to pinpoint the definition of what a win would be for the client. Throughout our engagement, we measure and record progress to provide clients with tangible evidence of success.
We can help with Startups, Business Planning and Growth, and Exit Strategies.
