Business Law

When it comes to starting, operating and growing a business, you want a law firm that can advise you on the myriad of issues that businesses face today.  We focus on the big picture and help you solve the issues that you may encounter so that you can focus on the bottom line.

Entity Formation – we have formed and advised hundreds of business owners on the proper selection of a business entity, properly registering the entity, compliance with state and federal requirements, and the drafting of custom operating agreements to suit the needs of the business at hand.  We will explain the advantages and disadvantages to forming partnerships, corporations, LLC’s and LP’s in addition to non-profit entities and will ensure that you understand how to properly operate these entities after they have been formed.

 Contracts – we draft and review a variety of contracts for our business clientele, including, but not limited to:

• Employment contracts
• Mergers and acquisitions contracts
• Shareholder agreements
• Operating agreements and joint venture/partnership agreements
• Licensing and distribution agreements
• Non-competition, non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality agreements
• Business assets purchase and sale agreements
• Franchise agreements
• Due diligence
• Professional services contracts

Corporate Governance – setting up the business entity properly is just step one; successful operation of a business requires that all internal governance requirements for meetings, voting and resolutions are met and that transactions are performed in a way that does not waive or compromise the personal liability protection of the business owners

 Commercial Debt Collection – at some point in the life cycle of every business, invoices will not be paid and the services of a lawyer to collect and demand payment for an outstanding debt will be required.  Our firm will make sure that the collection process is efficient and in compliance with applicable state and federal laws

Litigation – whether defending a lawsuit brought against a business client or initiating the filing of a lawsuit to enforce the rights of a business client, our firm is ready to help guide you through the legal process.  We will advise you of your rights, the strength of your position, and the variety of outcomes possible so that you can make an informed decision on how to proceed and do so confidently

Mergers & Acquisitions – every merger or acquisition is unique, but many of the issues that are faced when buying or merging two or more companies are not.  Our firm will carefully guide you through the issues at every level to ensure compliance with all relevant laws affecting your venture.
