Business Law
Unless you have been there before, no one understands how exciting, yet difficult forming a new business entity can be. Many of the decisions made at the time of business formation can have a significant impact on the ultimate success of the business venture. Thus, it is very important to weigh the potential short-run and long-run impacts of these initial decisions.
Not all businesses have their own attorney. Many businesses are small to medium-sized. They’re large enough to need legal input on sophisticated business matters but aren’t yet prepared to hire an in-house counsel.
To address their legal and business law needs, these growing companies work with a knowledgeable law firm that acts as their external general counsel. This structure provides much of the same legal support as an in-house counsel or attorney staff does.
- Business Entity Formation (corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships)
- Contract Preparation and Negotiation (joint venture agreements, labor and employment agreements, construction agreements, operating agreements, subsidiary agreements, supplier agreements, rental leases, corporate finance agreements, and most other business agreements)
- Regulatory Compliance Plans Licensure and Permitting Matters Mediation, arbitration or litigation of business disputes
