| Kraemer
Burns provides a broad range of corporate and business services,
counseling clients, negotiating on their behalf, and preparing
and reviewing documents for corporate, commercial and financial
transactions. We function as
a law department for some businesses, as adjuncts to in-house
legal staff for others, and as New Jersey counsel for corporations
and other law firms.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
We regularly represent clients in transactions
involving the purchase or sale of businesses. The combined
expertise of Kraemer Burns partners in general corporate,
financial, tax, employment law, real estate and estate planning
is particularly useful in assisting clients to form, merge,
expand and sell their businesses. The firm recently represented
a computer industry client whose shares were publicly traded
in a merger into a large British corporation whose shares
are traded on the London Stock Exchange.
Business Formation and Representation
Kraemer Burns has extensive experience
forming, merging and reorganizing corporations, partnerships,
limited liability companies and other entities. We regularly
counsel business entities, including large national and international
companies as well as closely held and family businesses on
a broad range of issues.
Contracts
In keeping with Kraemer Burns philosophy,
we counsel our business clients on the most practical and
cost-effective ways to avoid litigation wherever possible.
A key element in that preventive approach is the careful preparation
and review of contracts before they are signed. For example,
Kraemer Burns is frequently asked to negotiate contracts for
client purchases of major equipment and services, such as
the computer hardware and software packages.
Kraemer Burns has represented diverse
businesses in the license and sale of their products, including
equipment manufacturers, software, medical products and pharmaceutical
companies. We also provide counsel for our clients' acquisition
of new products.

Employment
Kraemer Burns partners have successfully
tried many employment related cases, including discrimination
claims, wrongful discharge and contract cases, both in state
and federal courts. They have also defended employers before
state and federal administrative agencies.
Although the firm has a solid track
record in defending employment-related cases, the emphasis
at Kraemer Burns is on prevention - prompt and responsive
handling of day-to-day situations that, if not handled properly,
can develop into far more serious problems. Kraemer Burns
assists employers in successfully handling employee issues
to minimize employee complaints and litigation. We also work
closely with our clients' human resource managers to develop
the companies' personnel policies.
Negotiation of employment and non-competition
agreements are another mainstay of our employment law practice.
We also maintain a substantial practice in structuring management
and sales employment and incentive compensation arrangements.
Kraemer Burns considers contract and employment law counseling
to be among the firm's most cost-effective services because
it can help clients avoid litigation.
Health Care
Kraemer Burns lawyers have represented
hospitals, home health and mental health agencies, health
maintenance organizations and medical groups on an ongoing
basis. We also have substantial experience representing pharmaceutical
companies and laboratories in a broad range of matters. Our
practice has included the formation and sale of HMO's, acquisition
of laboratories, hospital and home health agencies, mergers
and acquisitions, and purchases and sales of medical practices.
Mediation and Arbitration
Our firm includes experienced mediators
and arbitrators. Some of our attorneys have been appointed
by the New Jersey courts to act as mediators, arbitrators,
and fiscal agents, or to be fact finders assisting the court.
Our attorneys have been chosen to mediate cases by attorneys
in other law firms. One Kraemer Burns attorney is frequently
called by courts and counsel to mediate challenging commercial
matters and has settled over 90 per cent of these difficult
cases.
Securities
Kraemer Burns provides advice and representation
to companies in public and private offerings. Counseling on
requirements under Federal and state securities laws and assistance
in complying with filing requirements is also available. In
addition our lawyers represent broker/dealers and other securities
professionals in compliance matters and in litigation.
