Sarah W. Benedict is a corporate attorney in Ireland Stapleton’s business law practice group. Sarah represents business clients looking to execute on their strategic growth, reorganization, and succession planning. She provides practical, strategic advice to clients in connection with mergers and acquisitions, contract negotiations, real estate transactions, corporate governance, software licenses, and other legal transactions. Sarah also works with both issuers and investors in connection with a range of private placements and equity offerings, and she counsels clients on corporate restructurings intended to meet their specific business needs.
Sarah regularly assists her clients in their day-to-day legal needs, responding quickly and efficiently to ensure that they receive the advice and support they need. That may involve drafting or reviewing a contract on short notice, advising on the risks that a client faces in a particular transaction, or negotiating with the opposing party to obtain the best result for the client. Sarah understands the complex needs of business owners and executives and always strives to ensure that the guidance she provides is given in the context of the client’s business realities instead of providing legal advice in a vacuum.
