Overview

Zack Andrews is a shareholder with Bean, Kinney & Korman, practicing in the areas of corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, government contracting, real estate transactions, and commercial finance.

Zack helps various types of business entities and nonprofit organizations in all stages of the business entity life cycle, from initial formation to owner exit. He works closely with boards of directors, LLC management, and other executives in structuring corporate governance, raising capital, and drafting and negotiating commercial agreements. Zack often serves as outside general counsel to his clients as they grow, providing advice and legal support on employment, government contracting, and regulatory compliance issues. His acumen for draftsmanship and ability to resolve issues within a transaction add value to his clients looking to build, grow, and sell their businesses.

Zack’s primary practice focus is leading merger, acquisition and disposition transactions for both buyers and sellers of businesses within a variety of industries, most commonly those specializing in federal government contracting (GovCon), construction, industrial and skilled trades, information technology, professional services, and health care. He is recognized as a Certified Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor by AM&AA.

In his real estate practice, Zack also represents owners, purchasers, developers, REITs, and property managers in various commercial real estate transactions. He regularly drafts and negotiates office, retail, industrial, and shopping center leases for both landlords and tenants, oversees complex acquisitions and dispositions of real estate, and prepares commercial agreements for the construction and development of real property. He also represents both borrowers and lending institutions in closing real estate and asset-based financing transactions.

Prior to joining the firm, Zack worked in the corporate legal departments of both a managed behavioral health care company and a university-based hospital network.
