Business Law Services
No matter the nature of your business, our attorneys can help you understand how to address the legal matters that may arise, including:
- Business formation – Choosing the right type of business entity is crucial, since it can provide protection from liability, affect taxation, and determine how the business will be structured. We can work with you to meet the requirements of establishing your business as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), professional limited liability company (PLLC) or corporation.
- Corporate and regulatory compliance – Depending on the nature of your business, the number of employees, and the way it is structured, you may be required to follow a variety of laws and regulations. We can help you understand your rights and responsibilities and work with you to create company policies that will ensure ongoing compliance.
- Employment – To avoid potential legal issues related to your employees, we can help make sure you are following the right hiring practices and human resources procedures. We can assist with the creation of the policies and employee handbooks that will protect against claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, or other matters that could harm your business. We can also help you understand the roles that immigration law, liability, payroll taxes, and workers’ compensation may play in your ongoing relationship with your employees.
- Contract drafting and negotiation – Your relationships with vendors, partners, employees, and other parties are an essential part of your business, and you will want to have contractual agreements in place to protect your rights and prevent litigation. Not only can we draft the contracts but will zealously negotiate the terms of contracts to ensure that your needs are met.
