Practical. Prompt. Responsive.

AWA Legal offers premium contract negotiation and general legal services to private equity firms, asset managers, investment advisors and portfolio companies.

What We Do

We focus on tailoring efficient solutions for high volume legal contract negotiations to your particular needs, whether you are a small private equity firm making your first acquisition, or a $200 billion AUM asset manager managing deal flow.  While certain contract terms are critical, others are less important. AWA Legal crafts efficient solutions to ensure that you obtain the best possible terms in your contracts without undue cost or delay.

What We Offer

AWA Legal attorneys have elite legal education and big law experience.  By contracting directly with us instead of a large firm, you get the benefit of top-tier professionals with focused attention and area expertise at a fraction of the cost of a traditional large law firm.  Don't pay big law rates for an inexperienced junior associate.  Let our team deliver better results at a lower price.
