ABOUT THE SABER FIRM
OUR PRACTICE
The Saber Firm provides sophisticated transactional and advisory counsel to clients navigating complex business arrangements, executive transitions, international opportunities, and wealth transfer planning. Our practice serves corporate executives, institutional investors, real estate operators, private equity sponsors, professional athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs requiring sophisticated legal infrastructure for business growth and wealth creation.
We focus on deal structuring, contract negotiation, business formation, and strategic legal planning. Our approach emphasizes building frameworks that position clients for long-term success, addressing legal considerations proactively rather than reactively. We advise on transactions involving multiple parties with competing interests, complex governance arrangements, and sophisticated economic structures requiring careful attention to tax, regulatory, and operational considerations.
Our transactional practice encompasses mergers and acquisitions, real estate joint ventures, private equity structures, executive compensation arrangements, international business transactions, estate planning and wealth transfer, business formation and scaling strategies. We also provide specialized counsel in image rights and media for professional athletes and entertainers, including FIFA-licensed intermediary services for soccer players.
