Since 1975 we have represented many small and
medium-sized businesses and the people who own them.
We enjoy
representing businesses and can help you develop business plans, review and evaluate
business risks, collect receivables, negotiate payables, raise
money, plan strategically, utilize company Boards, hire staff,
terminate staff, draft contracts, negotiate leases and understand
legal documents.
If your business has trade secrets, intellectual property, or any other proprietary property, we will be happy to help you protect those assets through employment contracts, confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements. When it is time to grow or otherwise, we want to help you merge your business, sell your assets, acquire new businesses or dissolve business relationships. We want to help you plan for the future with an appropriate retirement plan.
Planning for the orderly succession of your business may be the key to a smooth transition to the next generation or transfer to a succeeding owner. We can provide guidance to help you with the complex legal and tax issues associated with selling your business. Such issues may include the sale or transfer of business assets, developing and negotiating buy-sell agreements, structuring of ESOPs, or any other business succession plan.
Just Getting Started?
If you have not done so, there are a number of reasons you may wish to conduct your business through a business entity. One of the most common is the desire to limit the personal liability that may be inherent in your business. Others may include a desire to share ownership, continuity of life, centralized management or Federal income tax considerations. We will be happy to review these factors with you and help you select the most advantageous form of entity for your business and the achievement of your goals. The selection of a business entity, whether it is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or limited partnership, will affect your income taxes and retirement planning. We will be happy to show you the benefits that can arise from proper entity selection.
We want to get to know you and know about your business, and we want you to know about us. Let us help you develop and conduct your business so that it meets your needs. Please contact our office to set up an appointment or speak with one of our attorneys.
