Startup & Business Law

For our corporate clients, we provide advice on corporate structure including selection of entity, segregation of real estate assets into legally separate entities, corporate residence, ownership and management provisions in by-laws or operating agreements, investor protection and general legal advice.

We assist in identifying and structuring various levels of financing for start-up, intermediate and mature companies. We have also negotiated the purchase and sale of businesses, non-compete/non-disclosure provisions, private placement memorandums, and option/warrant agreements. We assist with partnerships and limited liability companies. Our experience in representing businesses spans industries such as: healthcare and medicine; transportation and logistics; retail and restaurants; insurance; and nonprofits.

Included in our business law practice is advice on employment related matters for both companies and employees. Specifically, we negotiate complex employment and benefit packages for C-suite executives as well as draft independent contractor agreements, severance arrangements and noncompete agreements.

Many businesses do not need a full-time general counsel or a legal department, but still want a lawyer who fully understands its business and is alert to both how a discrete legal matter may impact many areas of the business and how changing laws or practices may impact business operations. We offer an effective and efficient solution for such businesses and act as counsel to a broad range of companies in areas including governance and management issues, employment, litigation, compliance and finance. We can identify when a matter requires a specialist in a discrete legal field to provide advice. With our vast network of lawyer contacts, we can save our clients time and cost in identifying and managing a legal specialist in a narrow field of law.
