Ed Polubinski focuses his corporate practice on equity financing—including start-up, seed, and Series A rounds—debt financing, mergers and acquisitions, and other complex corporate matters such as shareholder agreements (buy sells). With over 40 years of experience, he has worked on transactions ranging from just over $100,000 to nearly $100 million.
He began his career at prominent New York and Boston law firms, where he developed a meticulous and thorough approach to corporate transactions. Now practicing at Lyne, Woodworth & Evarts LLP, a smaller firm, Ed continues to deliver high-quality legal services tailored to the unique needs of start-ups and smaller and mid-sized businesses. In smaller transactions, because he practices with a boutique firm, he can offer practical, cost-conscious options, including reduced hourly rates, fixed fees, and “not-to-exceed” arrangements, ensuring affordability without compromising quality.
Ed is the author of the Business Corporations volume in the Thomson Reuters Massachusetts Practice series. As a result, he assists other attorneys with corporate law issues, offering services such as drafting complex resolutions, researching difficult areas, analyzing complex corporate documents, and preparing high-level documentation.
He has taught a course in mergers and acquisitions at the Boston University School of Law, served on the Board of Directors for Opera Boston, and served as an officer and director for multiple corporations. He is a Life Fellow of the Massachusetts Bar Foundation, a member of the steering committee of the Business Lawyers Network (BLN) and a co-facilitator of USA 500’s Small Business M&A Resources Roundtable. He is listed in Marquis Who’s Who.
Outside of his professional life, Ed is an avid runner, skier, fly fisherman, and fly tier.
