When one starts a new business, there are a number of important legal issues that need to be addressed. Do I even need a business entity like a corporation or a limited liability company? If I have a partner, how do we protect ourselves if the business goes poorly, or if we disagree about important business decisions?

Legal questions often arise as you operate your business. Does the proposed new lease protect me? What is the best type of financing for my proposed expansion? What if one of my employees makes a mistake on a job? How do I protect my customer list and other confidential information? Should I merge with another company in the industry? We get along well with each other as competitors and we each bring different strengths to the table, but, what if things don’t work out?

When you are ready to retire from your business, become less active in it, or sell it completely, what is the best way to do so?

What You Can Expect From Us:

Whether the legal issue arises as you prepare to start a business, while you are operating it, or when you are ready to leave it, ease away from it, or sell it, we will ask you questions and listen carefully to what you tell us. It is important that we understand how your business operates and what your goals and objectives are. We will meet with you as often as necessary in order to allow us to assist you in meeting your goals and objectives.

We will meet with your accountant or other business advisors to assure that you have counsel and advice from all necessary parties.

We will prepare the written documents needed to meet your objectives or review and comment on documents prepared by others.

You will be encouraged to call us or email us with any questions that arise at any time. When you call, you will not feel like you are annoying us by calling; rather, you will feel welcomed and at ease. We will answer your questions fully and clearly. If we tell you we cannot answer a particular question it is because we need to do some research so as to be sure our answer is correct and complete.
