Brandon L. Hurwitz

My practice is built on relationships and grounded in trust. I don’t take for granted the confidence clients place in me when they invite me into their business decisions — often some of the most important they’ll ever make. I believe good counsel starts with perspective. My job is not only to get the deal done, but to help clients keep sight of what really matters — the big picture behind the transaction. I’m at my best when I can bring clarity to complexity, help steady the room, and remind everyone what success actually looks like. 

Brandon Hurwitz represents businesses and entrepreneurs in a wide range of transactional matters, with a practice focused on mergers and acquisitions, commercial real estate, financing, and general commercial matters. His work includes structuring and negotiating business acquisitions and sales, preparing and reviewing complex operating and purchase agreements, and advising clients on entity formation, governance, and succession planning.

Brandon’s practice is relationship-driven and grounded in a holistic understanding of each client’s true business and personal goals. He serves as a trusted advisor to companies, helping them navigate both high-stakes strategic transactions and everyday commercial needs. Thus, in addition to major deals, Brandon regularly provides counsel on ongoing business relationships, vendor and service agreements, licensing arrangements, and other commercial contracts essential to his clients’ operations. 

For his clients involved in real estate, Brandon regularly assists with setting up entity structures and joint ventures, negotiating purchase and sale agreements and leases, and coordinating development from the ground up. 

By combining practical business insight with a focus on long-term relationships, Brandon delivers advice that is not only legally sound but strategically aligned with each client’s broader objectives and vision for growth.
