About Wagner & Wilson, LLC

Closely held businesses deserve closely held counsel.

Wagner & Wilson is a boutique corporate law firm representing closely held businesses through formation, growth, transactions, and the day-to-day work of running a company. We built the firm to be the kind of counsel we always wished mid-market clients could find: senior attorneys, direct access, business-aware advice, and predictable cost.

Our Approach

Most law firms are organized around hours billed. We're organized around outcomes delivered. That means we lead with business judgment, not legal complexity. We tell you when a deal point is worth fighting for and when it isn't. We draft contracts you can actually use. We give you answers, not memos.

When you call us, you reach a partner. When we send you a contract, it has been written by an attorney with real transactional experience. When we represent you in a deal, you have a single accountable lead from term sheet through closing.
