BUSINESS START-UPS AND FORMATION
We take the time to meet with individuals or principals who are interested in starting businesses. During the initial meeting, we will go through the pros, cons and restrictions of the various entities that could work for your particular type of business. We will also discuss liability, taxation, cost and management issues so you can choose the most appropriate entity. After the entity selection, we will also draft the relevant corresponding documents that shape and define how the business will be managed and operated. Contact us for more details.
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
Contract drafting and review is critical to securing your interests after the transaction has closed. We negotiate, draft and review all types of agreements related to your business, such as buy-sell agreements, commercial property and lease agreements, and contracts for goods and services.
We will advise and counsel you on specific language to clarify contract provisions, protect your interests and rights, and prevent potential legal disputes. Having a skilled attorney evaluate your particular transaction can help you avoid potential problems and pitfalls.

DIVORCE AND assets/ QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS/divorce consulting
Divorce can have a significant impact on a business in a number of ways: division of assets, loss of focus, how the business will be valued, disputes over ownership and management of the business, and even credit and financing issues. A business may be impacted by any or all of these issues and legal liabilities that come with divorce, including property settlements and civil judgments. Overall, divorce can be a significant challenge for businesses. We can help protect a business owner’s investments and interests. We also offer limited scope representation and provide clients with tools to make important decisions about the divorce process, such as property division, retirement assets, and financial settlements. We do not specialize in divorce law but we can work with you and your divorce lawyer to help you navigate what is often a very stressful situation.
EMPLOYMENT
It’s often difficult to predict what type of issues may arise when dealing with staff and employees. These matters can be prevented with proper planning. We assist you in evaluating your liability exposure and develop and implement policies to reduce risks. We draft policy manuals and employee handbooks that address specific issues that are often overlooked and advise on how to deal with a problematic employee.
We meticulously draft and negotiate various aspects of employee agreements related to non-compete provisions, confidentiality provisions, non-solicitation clauses, compensation and severance packages. We contemplate the cost benefits and risks associated with addressing these issues and use them as an effective alternative to litigation so you can focus on running your business efficiently.
