Partners in Law & Equity

Shaffer and LaLonde LLC brings together the more than 20-year professional relationship of founding partners Bob Shaffer and Greg LaLonde, who first collaborated in the early 2000s. After law school and a brief tenure as an assistant prosecutor, Bob focused on business law, while Greg pursued entrepreneurial ventures.

Their partnership began when Greg identified a proprietary opportunity to acquire a small company from a motivated seller. That transaction became the foundation for multiple follow-on acquisitions and investments, which Bob and Greg worked on together and ultimately led to several successful exits. Today, the team offers clients decades of combined entrepreneurial and business law experience to support their own growth and success.

Shaffer & LaLonde draws upon decades of experience serving companies of all sizes across a wide range of industries, including technology, software, healthcare, manufacturing, business services, financial services, energy, consumer products and services, and more. The founding partners bring 50 years of combined experience from the perspectives of both a practicing attorney and a sophisticated business client. This background allows the firm to effectively advise entrepreneurs, institutional and individual investors, foreign and domestic investors, issuers, and executives. With experience in cross-border transactions of varying sizes, including acquisition and financing transactions involving share issuances in European and Asian markets, the firm delivers a value proposition that is difficult to match.

Although the firm is especially focused on transactional matters, it also brings substantial regulatory experience, including work involving federal and state securities regulators, the FDA, the FTC, and other state and local authorities.
