Business Law

Our Firm has extensive experience in solving business problems for our clients. We are intimately familiar with the day-to-day legal, financial, and operating issues that confront small and medium sized businesses.

We have advised clients on business start ups, buy/sell agreements, incorporation, UCC filings, contract drafting and negotiations, controversies between business competitors, defending against unfair and deceptive business practice claims, disputes over agreements with suppliers, customers, vendors, distributors and franchisors.

We see ourselves as part of your team of professional advisors; and our role is to help your business grow and prosper. We understand the unique demands and needs of the local business community. Success often depends on the personal relationships that we have developed over the years with other professionals and business owners.

We work with our clients to anticipate disputes before they occur, in order to avoid the cost and time involved in litigation.

Our goal is to provide long-term benefits for our business clients by contributing to greater efficiency in the structure of their business relationships, by protecting their rights and interests, and to improve the odds for success by minimizing the risks and lowering the costs of doing business.

Our team assists businesses in buying, selling and combining of their companies to aid, finance, or help a growing company grow more rapidly without having to create another business entity.

A merger is a combination of two companies into one larger company. Such actions are commonly voluntary and involve stock swaps or cash payment to the target company.

An acquisition, also known as a takeover, is the buying of one company (the ‘target’) by another. An acquisition can be friendly or hostile. In a friendly acquisition the companies cooperate in negotiations; in a hostile acquisition the target company is unwilling to be bought or the target company’s board of directors has no prior knowledge of the offer.
