Much Shelist, P.C.

Much was established in 1970 as a law firm focused on business counseling, transactional law, and litigation. Today, we are a firm of approximately 100 attorneys with a culture of personal service and creativity typical of a smaller firm, with the sophistication and resources clients expect from the largest firms.

Experience

We routinely handle complex transactions and litigation for businesses of all sizes. Our clients include financial institutions, private equity groups, public and private companies, middle-market businesses, and high-net-worth individuals. We have substantial experience representing a range of manufacturers, distributors, and service companies in various industries, from technology startups to mature businesses with a focus on growth strategies, market penetration, and succession plans.

The firm offers business and legal services in a wide range of areas, including corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, startups and venture capital, commercial finance, and taxation. We also offer services related to labor and employment, real estate and construction, business litigation and dispute resolution, insurance coverage and risk management, intellectual property and technology, health care law, creditors’ rights, insolvency and business bankruptcy, and wealth transfer and succession planning.

Service

Our attorneys are committed to developing meaningful client relationships. By knowing our clients and their businesses, we believe we can better understand their needs and goals and help deliver more effective solutions. We emphasize direct, personal communications that enable us to anticipate client needs and respond quickly to new business and legal developments. The result? Our clients tell us they appreciate our blend of business pragmatism and legal acumen.
