About Apex Corporate Law
For over 25 years, we've been the trusted corporate counsel for growth-stage companies navigating their most critical transactions.
Our Story
Founded in 1998 in the heart of Manhattan's financial district, Apex Corporate Law was built on a simple premise: growth-stage companies deserve the same caliber of corporate counsel as Fortune 500 firms.
Today, with over 50 attorneys across three offices, we've closed more than 500 M&A transactions totaling over $12 billion in deal value. Our clients range from Series A startups to pre-IPO companies on the cusp of public markets.
What sets us apart is our technology-forward approach: our proprietary deal-room, board portal, and cap table tools give clients real-time visibility into every transaction, every filing, and every governance decision.
