Areas of Practice

Political Law & Compliance

We offer expert legal guidance to federal candidates, political committees, super PACs, 501(c) entities, and individual contributors on matters of federal and state campaign finance and associated tax obligations. Our legal team meticulously examines our clients’ financial disclosure filings prior to their submission to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Each election cycle, we scrutinize a substantial array of political advertisements to affirm their adherence to relevant campaign finance regulations, as well as copyright and defamation statutes. Furthermore, we provide robust representation for our clients in FEC-related enforcement proceedings, audits, and various other legal concerns.

Crisis Management

We provide guidance to corporations and public personalities grappling with allegations of misconduct, media pressure, or legal ambiguities. Our approach enables clients to promptly evaluate their exposure, contemplate various courses of action, and formulate an organized response plan. In certain situations, transparency and dissemination of information prove effective; other scenarios call for a more reserved approach. Each crisis is unique, yet the resolution typically starts with a methodical procedure to pinpoint risks and balance potential reactions. Versa offers a composite of legal expertise, strategic planning, and public relations support during such critical moments.

Corporate & Business Transactions

We advise on a broad array of commercial transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, structured negotiations, corporate oversight, take-overs, venture capital and institutional financings, due diligence, risk evaluations, asset acquisitions, drafting and negotiating contracts, as well as guidance on the structuring and establishment of business entities.

Real Estate

We have significant experience representing clients across the full spectrum of real estate transactions, from institutional lenders engaged in mortgage and mezzanine financing, to limited partners investing in residential development. We have handled transactions in a variety of asset classes, including office, multi-family, hospitality and retail. In addition, we have experience negotiating and managing lease agreements, as counsel to landlords and tenants. Our legal team prides itself on attention to detail, while keeping the big picture in mind and getting you to the closing table efficiently.

Congressional Investigations

We have significant expertise in representing both individuals and organizations during congressional inquiries. Our proficiency extends across the full gamut of investigations—from managing low-profile, straightforward requests to navigating the complexities of high-stakes, publicly scrutinized probes and hearings that carry substantial legal and reputational dangers.
