Sarah W. Benedict is a business attorney at Ireland Stapleton. She represents clients with a variety of their day-to-day legal needs, often effectively acting as their outside general counsel. She provides practical, strategic advice in connection with mergers and acquisitions, contract negotiations, leases, corporate governance, software licenses, and other matters. Sarah also works with both issuers and investors in connection with a range of private placements and equity offerings, and she counsels clients on restructurings intended to meet their specific business needs.
Sarah’s clients rely on her for answers to their business legal needs, knowing that she will respond 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 knows that more legal work is not necessarily what clients need, and her clients appreciate that she is always willing to have a conversation with them to help them understand their options and the legal ramifications of an action they are considering. Perhaps most importantly, 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.
