Practical legal support

The importance of a business attorney.

Business owners face legal questions in day-to-day operations and at major turning points. Our role is to help you understand those questions, weigh the practical considerations, and document the decisions your business makes.

Contract preparation, review, and negotiation

Contracts define your relationships with employees, vendors, customers, and business partners. We draft, review, and negotiate employment agreements, vendor contracts, partnership agreements, and other documents with your business objectives in mind.

Business formation and structure

Starting a business or making significant changes to an existing one calls for a careful look at its structure. We help you consider a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company in light of your ownership, management, and future plans.

Important moments in the business

When and why do you need
a business attorney?

Legal advice can be especially useful before you commit to a new venture, relationship, or transaction. Early discussions give you an opportunity to address important terms while decisions are still being made.

Starting a new company

Involve counsel before launching a company or entering a new venture. Entity selection, ownership arrangements, and internal documents are easier to discuss together at the outset than to revisit after the business has begun operating.

Establishing new business relationships

Payment, responsibilities, ownership of work, and dispute resolution are often negotiated at the start of a relationship. We help you consider those terms and put the proposed arrangement into a workable agreement.

Selling your business

Retirement, a sale to a third party, or a transition to family members can raise different business and legal questions. We discuss your options, proposed purchase terms, and transaction structure as you plan the next stage of ownership.

A connected practice

How our business attorneys
can assist you.

Business contracts

We prepare, review, and negotiate agreements so the terms reflect the intended business relationship. Clear contracts with vendors, employees, contractors, and other parties can help reduce misunderstandings and the potential for disputes.

Intellectual property protection

We assist with trademark and copyright prosecution and protection, as well as trade secret and confidential-information matters. These issues often connect with your commercial agreements and brand development.

Explore intellectual property

Compliance and regulatory matters

We provide guidance on industry-specific regulations and laws that affect business operations. The appropriate work depends on the business, its activities, and the jurisdictions involved.

Support as your needs develop

Tailored solutions for startups
and small businesses.

Startups and small businesses may benefit from an outside-counsel relationship when they need legal support without maintaining an in-house legal department. We tailor the work to the business’s needs.

We also offer flat-fee startup packages to help founders plan for defined legal work. For recurring support, review our fractional general counsel options. The scope and fees depend on the arrangement selected.
