BUSINESS LAW
Are you looking to form a new business?
We can help you to determine the proper entity, whether a corporation, partnership or LLC. A corporation or an LLC is designed to help you to avoid personal liability: we can help you preserve that protection by advising you how to observe corporate or business formalities and we can advise you about adequate funding and insurance. We will advise you regarding management and ownership issues and can draft buy-sell agreements to help you avoid uncertainties in the future.
Purchasing or selling a business?
We can advise you about the pitfalls of purchase or sale; bring in experts to help you review the finances of the business or of the buyer; draft and negotiate the terms of the contract to make sure that the buyer receives what he or she expects to receive or to protect the buyer from unanticipated responsibility for the seller’s obligations; to protect a seller when a buyer fails to perform.
We have represented buyers and sellers of businesses in transactions valued at $10,000 to approximately $40 Million.
What about operating problems?
Operating a business is a constant confrontation with legal issues. From contract negotiation and formation to leases, from employee pay issues to copyrights, trademarks and patents, from protecting your trade secrets to defending lawsuits, and collecting money owed to you. We can help you to protect your rights and to avoid legal and economic obstacles.
Outside General Counsel Program.
We have a number of small/medium size businesses, who have placed us on a monthly retainer (at a discounted rate) to serve as "outside general counsel". These companies recognize the value of having a legal adviser knowledgeable about their businesses who is available for consultation and to handle matters on a regular basis.
