BUSINESS LAW

BUSINESS FORMATION

Business formation is the process of deciding how your business will be structured and how it will operate. The type of business you choose will affect all aspects of your business, from how your taxes will be filed and paid, to how lawsuits may be incurred against you.  Entity formation is the first step in establishing a successful business.  There are many factors that go into that decision and we can help you decide what will work best for you.

CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS

One of the most important aspects of any successful business is the paperwork. Contracts are designed to protect your property, outline relationships with employees and other organizations, and clarify the purpose and goals of your company. Without clear, enforceable contracts, you are putting your business at risk. We can help you build a strong legal foundation so you can avoid these risks whenever possible.

BUSINESS PURCHASE AND SALE

Whether it is drafting or reviewing a buy or sell agreement, representing you in negotiation, providing due diligence, or closing your transaction, an attorney can help you avoid many issues that can arise in buying, selling or merging a business.  Some of the ways that an attorney can assist with these transactions are preparing the documentation for the transaction; negotiating the terms and conditions related to the transaction; negotiating deals, payouts and/or contracts; organizing your business and incorporation if needed; handling non-compete, non-disclosure, employment agreements; and ensuring any payout arrangement protects your interests.

LITIGATION

No matter how hard you try to run your business the best way possible, sometimes it’s impossible to avoid litigation. Disputes can arise from employment, contracts, product and service warranties, service promises, etc. When disputes arise, you need to deal with them in a quick and straightforward manner.  Acting quickly can potentially avoid litigation or increase the chances of a favorable outcome.
