Corporate/Business Law

Our practice is designed to address the legal needs of businesses from start-ups to a buy-sell transaction.  We have been helping businesses as small as sole proprietorships to entities employing hundreds of people with locations throughout the United States.   A list of our representative clients includes national franchises, restaurants, builders/developers, equipment manufacturers, medical practices, and private consultants.

One of the first and most important steps in establishing a new business is determining which type of business entity will be most advantageous to you from a tax and liability standpoint. Selecting the right form of business organization can help you avoid potential problems that can devastate a new business such as a limited liability company (LLC) or corporation.

We also assist new and existing businesses in a wide range of issues which may include:

• Shareholder/Member Agreements and Matters
• Non-Compete and Solicitation Agreements
• Sales, Dealer Distribution
• Employee Manuals and Contracts
• Asset Transactions
• Buy-Sell Agreements
• Leases
• Contract Review and Drafting
• Wind-Down of a Business

Whatever the facts of your case, you can rely on us for creative solutions that are custom tailored to your situation whether it be an out of court resolution or prosecuting or defending the matter at trial.
