Areas of Practice

Business Law

The firm’s business attorneys provide a broad range of corporate and business services to new and existing businesses, corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies.  Our corporate practice often intersects with closely-related practice areas, such as commercial litigation, real estate, employment law, environmental law, and estate planning.  Our experience in each of these areas gives our firm the ability to represent a business in all aspects of its corporate life.

Entity Formation

We lead our clients through the process of selecting and forming the best entity and structure for their business organizations.  We have acquired considerable experience in managing the formation process for corporations, limited liability companies, and general and limited partnerships.

Corporate Governance

We help clients follow best practices in keeping organizational minutes and records, conducting board and shareholder meetings, and complying with regulatory and foreign qualification requirements.  We advise directors, officers and other organizational leaders on issues involving indemnification and their corporate duties.

Contract Negotiation, Drafting & Review

We have significant experience in the negotiation, review, and drafting of a broad range of business-related contracts.  Our experience permits us to advise and assist clients in connection with virtually any type of contract that may arise from their business activities.  Among the types of contracts we negotiate and prepare are marketing and distribution arrangements, real estate and lease transactions, purchasing and sales agreements, licensing agreements, franchise agreements, and joint ventures.

Commercial Litigation

Our firm has extensive experience in all types of civil litigation, and is well-prepared to provide skilled representation in any litigation that may arise from our business clients’ operations.  For example, we represent clients in litigation involving labor and employment matters, contract disputes, fiduciary duties, intellectual property disputes, and professional liability claims.
