Experienced counselors help business owners make smart decisions

A successful business is proactive rather than reactive. We aim to provide skilled counsel that safeguards your company to minimize the potential for future disputes. We address your concerns regarding:

• Contracts — A solid, detailed contract is one of the most valuable parts of a business owner’s toolbox. We draft, review and amend contracts for partnerships, employment, transactions, leases and more.
• Intellectual property — By filing the correct paperwork, performing trademark research and acting against unfair competitors, we aim to protect the ideas and inventions that make your business unique.
• Business torts — If another company or individual interferes with your company in a way that harms your business interests, we can seek a court injunction or monetary damages.
• Mergers and acquisitions — Whether you want to sell your company or buy another, our attorneys can draw up the terms of the transaction and walk you through relevant tax and liability considerations.

When you trust our firm for your business needs, we will be by your side to provide support during your challenges and triumphs alike.

Strategic business lawyers help set up entities to limit liability and advance growth

The type of entity you establish for your business determines how you pay taxes, the level of oversight required, and who is liable if your business ends up in a civil dispute. Our attorneys work one on one with small business owners and corporate boards, explaining the legal implications of different business formation decisions.

Our firm can also provide comprehensive counsel for your business planning needs. Whether you are looking to grow or downsize, to enter into a new industry, or to prevent an employee complaint from turning into a bigger issue, we are here to help. If you would like to pass down your business to an heir, we can work with you to create a reliable succession plan.
