Business Law

Starting or running a business has many unknown and hidden pitfalls. Often a small problem can blossom into a serious concern without the help and advice of a trusted advisor. This is where our business attorneys can help. We start by taking the time to really get to know you and your business including your future goals and growth plans.

Business law lawyers provide guidance on matters such as compliance with rules, statutes, codes and regulations which govern commercial relationships and provide the legal framework for conducting and managing a business.

For example, as a new business, do you know the right business structure that will protect you and provide for the future growth of your business? What are the legal and tax ramifications of choosing a partnership over a LLC? In making this vital decision, our experts can guide you taking into account the need for efficient organization, limited liability, tax consequences and the importance of partners agreeing on their rights and obligations in writing. We can help you decide on whether a “C” or “S” corporation, limited liability company (LLC), partnership, or sole proprietorship is right for you.

Once you’ve made a decision on the type of business structure, we can craft written agreements that protect your interests in balance with the needs and demands of the other parties. Down the road, if you end up a party to such matters such as lawsuits involving securities fraud, antitrust, breach of contract, labor and employment issues, personal injury, unfair and deceptive trade practices or any other business litigation matter, you can rely on our many years of experience to stand behind you and guide you in resolving the situation.
