Serving Ongoing Business Needs
Meeting the ongoing legal needs and challenges of our business clients—Contracts, Leases, Employment Agreements, Non-competition Agreements, personnel issues, real estate transactions, stock transactions, dispute resolution, secured and unsecured financing— these are integral business services we regularly provide.
Facilitating Business Purchases
Buying or selling an existing business? We can aid you. We can help you negotiate the terms of the deal, work with your accountants and brokers, prepare Letters of Intent, Purchase Agreements, Employment, Non-Competition and Consulting agreements. We help you navigate the details of commercial closings, de-stressing the process with legal understanding, insight, persistence and patience. We realize that over-lawyering can smother a good deal, but lack of attention to important details can spell disaster. We strive to balance caution and risk avoidance with boldness and ingenuity– to make the transaction happen in a way that benefits our client.
Business Litigation
Litigation, unfortunately, can impact even the best run businesses. Customers may fail to pay their bills or become dissatisfied with the client’s product or service. Insurance companies fail to fulfill their obligations. Other businesses act unethically; and the client needs a remedy. Government bureaucracy gets in the way, or oversteps its proper boundaries. The list of possible disputes is endless. We focus on negotiating a peaceful and efficient resolution whenever possible. But, when litigation is filed against our client or must as a last resort be filed by our client, we are ready to support the client through difficult and complex legal proceedings, including lawsuits, arbitrations and mediations.
Thriving Businesses
Thriving, proactive and prosperous businesses return to us again and again for advice and assistance. Let us prove to your business our worth, by granting us the privilege to address its concerns.
