    Introduction

    Manisha Fox is a department attorney in Nixon Peabody’s Corporate practice group. Manisha advises companies on general corporate matters and corporate governance and represents businesses in commercial transactions, mergers and acquisitions and strategic ventures.

    Practice Areas

    Corporate & FinanceMergers, Acquisitions, and Corporate Transactions

    /My focus

    I counsel companies on a variety of corporate and business law matters and a wide range of commercial agreements, including servicing agreements, vendor agreements, leases, and licensing agreements. In addition, I represent companies in joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions including early risk detection, due diligence, drafting and negotiating transaction documents, and facilitating closing and post-closing mechanics.

    Before joining the firm, I practiced as a corporate attorney, counseling startups on legal risk management and compliance and providing guidance to companies of all sizes on a variety of corporate matters including entity formation, contract drafting and negotiation, commercial real estate, regulatory compliance, privacy law, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and offerings. In addition, I have provided legal aid services on different matters including family law, consumer law, landlord-tenant law, and public benefits.

    /Looking ahead

    The combination of demands on companies due to the ever-increasing complexity of legislation and regulations and the continued expansion of globalization presents us as advisors with exciting and challenging opportunities to continue developing specialty experience while also presenting pragmatic and creative solutions and services to best serve and benefit businesses. Our solutions and services, whenever possible, should include innovative strategies to assist our clients holistically to help them cope with other immediate needs such as the increasingly difficult undertaking of recruitment and retention of talent.
