Business and Corporate Law

Getting the structure right early is usually cheaper than fixing it later. The practice handles business matters from formation through growth, investment, and exit.

What this covers

• Choosing the right structure for the business, including limited liability companies, corporations, partnerships, and assumed names
• Formation, governance documents, and dissolution
• Mergers, acquisitions, and asset purchases
• Federal and state compliance matters
• Commercial real estate matters, including leases
• Employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, and separation agreements
• Partnership, joint venture, and strategic alliance agreements
• Negotiating and preparing the deal documents behind a transaction
• Ownership, control, and succession planning among founders and members

Why it matters

Most business disputes are not caused by bad faith. They are caused by an agreement that never addressed the situation the parties are now in. The work here is to decide those questions while everyone still agrees.
