About Us

AmLaw 100 Experience. First-Hand Business Perspective. Direct, Practical Counsel.

DeMartinis Law Group combines the legal experience of a former AmLaw 100 partner with the first-hand perspective of an attorney who owned, operated, and grew a manufacturing company before entering the legal profession. This uncommon combination informs an approach centered on identifying what matters, simplifying complexity, and delivering legal counsel grounded in the realities of operating and growing a business.

The firm was founded by Germain E. DeMartinis, a corporate and transactional attorney who brings decades of business and advisory experience in representing founders, executives, investors, growth-stage companies, and middle-market enterprises. His practice encompasses mergers and acquisitions, corporate and growth transactions, commercial agreements, and strategic counsel, including matters involving business expansion, investments, partnerships, licensing, corporate governance, and organizational change.

Before entering the legal profession, Mr. DeMartinis grew a California manufacturing business from a local operation into a company serving customers across multiple states. With direct responsibility for operations, sales, production, and product development, he experienced many of the same commercial, operational, and strategic challenges his clients face today. That experience enables him to evaluate legal issues within their broader business context and provide advice that accounts not only for legal risk, but also for commercial priorities, operational realities, and the practical implications of legal and business decisions.

DeMartinis Law Group is intentionally structured to provide clients with direct access to experienced counsel and sustained senior-level involvement throughout each engagement. The firm combines the sophistication and rigor of large-firm practice with a focused and efficient model that keeps legal strategy closely connected to each client’s business objectives. Clients receive clear advice and practical solutions from initial strategy through negotiation, documentation, and execution.

Clients engage DeMartinis Law Group not only to structure transactions and negotiate agreements, but also to evaluate risk in context, navigate consequential business decisions, and move important initiatives forward with confidence. The firm’s approach is direct, responsive, and grounded in a practical understanding of how businesses operate, grow, and create value.
