Business Formation

We help you decide the most beneficial form for your business organization. We discuss the advantages of, for example, business partnership over limited liability corporation (LLC) formation.

Minimizing Owner / Shareholder Disputes

We help corporate clients to avoid potential pitfalls down the line. We help minimize disputes among owners and shareholders by preparing agreements that ensure the people in control maintain control.

Business Succession / Business Continuity Planning

It is inevitable that business owners retire, sell, pass on, or become disabled. Business succession can be complicated. It may include handing over a family business to the next generation. Our business continuity planning lawyer can help plan for the transfer of control of the organization to new owners.

We are available to offer sound legal advice and counsel to companies and company owners. We also help corporations regarding employment law matters, such as employee handbooks, litigation issues, employment contract review, and non-compete agreements.
