Business Law
Practical legal counsel for businesses, owners and entrepreneurs. We help clients form companies, structure ownership relationships, negotiate contracts, complete business transactions and address legal issues that arise during day-to-day operations.
Business and real estate, handled together.
Because many of our business clients are also real estate owners, investors, developers and landlords, our attorneys are able to look at business and real estate issues together rather than treating them as separate problems.
Business Formation
The decisions made when a business is formed can affect ownership, control, liability and future transactions. Our goal is to create a structure that reflects how the owners actually intend to operate the business.
- Limited liability companies
- Corporations
- Partnerships
- Operating agreements
- Shareholder agreements
- Bylaws
- Ownership & management structures
- EIN & organizational filings
Contracts & Agreements
Contracts define the rights, responsibilities and expectations of the parties. We focus on making agreements understandable, enforceable and consistent with the client’s business objectives.
- Vendor & service agreements
- Consulting agreements
- Independent contractor agreements
- Partnership & ownership agreements
- Purchase & sale agreements
- Confidentiality agreements
- Commercial agreements
- Settlement agreements
Business Acquisitions & Sales
Where a transaction also involves real estate, leases or financing, our firm’s real estate experience allows us to handle those issues as part of the same overall transaction.
- Asset purchases
- Equity & membership-interest purchases
- Due diligence
- Purchase agreements
- Assignment of contracts & leases
- Closing documents
- Ownership transfers
- Negotiation of transaction terms
General Business Counsel
Businesses frequently need legal advice before a problem becomes a lawsuit. We work to become familiar with the client’s business so that legal advice is practical, efficient and consistent over time.
- Contract review & drafting
- Business negotiations
- Corporate governance
- Ownership & management issues
- Vendor & customer disputes
- Lease-related matters
- Risk management
- General legal strategy
Business Owners & Real Estate Investors
A business may own its building, lease commercial space, acquire investment property, operate through multiple entities or require financing secured by real estate.
This integrated approach can simplify transactions and reduce the need to coordinate among multiple law firms.
- Entity ownership of real estate
- Investment property structures
- Commercial leasing
- Acquisitions involving real estate
- Financing & lender requirements
- Development & land-use issues
- Transfers of ownership interests
- Business succession with real estate
Business Disputes
When a business matter develops into a conflict, our litigation practice can assist with disputes involving contracts, ownership interests, partnerships, commercial relationships and other business issues.
Counsel That Understands the Business Objective
Legal advice should support the business, not become an obstacle to it. We work with clients to understand what they are trying to accomplish before recommending a legal structure or course of action. Our approach is focused on practical solutions and clear communication.
