What We Do For You

Our practice is structured to provide a carefully-chosen portfolio of privately-held smaller business clients with the services of an outside "in-house" counsel, without the overhead.

Our professional philosophy is geared toward keeping our clients out of court and out of trouble. However, given the vagaries of today's fast-paced business life, when deals do go wrong, we bring in and supervise specialists, skilled at protecting and defending business clients when the need arises. Our fees are reasonable and discussed with our clients before we enter into a professional relationship.

Let us show you how we can help you:

We help you with the legal issues involved in your business operations as your business grows.

Your business location decision is an important one – We prepare and/or review your commercial lease if you decide to rent space. We assist you with the offer to purchase/purchase and sale agreement if you decide to buy.

Securing business loans can be critical – We guide and assist you from beginning to end of the lending process. When you get ready to sign the documents, you will understand your rights and obligations.

Every business transaction is unique – We prepare and/or review a variety of contracts and agreements, helping you to achieve your goals for each business deal and protect your business as you do business.

As your business grows and evolves, so will your staff – We assist you with the hiring and firing procedures as well as documentation of all employee hiring, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and the termination process.

We can work with you and your accountant to help you acquire a new business, or sell your existing privately-held, non-venture capital financed business – Since no two deals are ever alike, the proper preparation of your documentation is absolutely crucial. We will help you prepare letters of intent. We will also help you prepare and/or review purchase and sales agreements.

They say it's lonely at the top, and no small business owner who succeeds is ever truly alone – That’s because they have a team to support the growth of the business. Consider us part of your team. We help you find the other professional resources you need to keep your business healthy, growing and strong. We draw on long-term relationships with experienced advisors.

We share our referral network of professional advisors to provide you assistance with:

• Human resource issues
• Accounting issues
• Financing needs
• Insurance needs
• Technology needs
• Public relations needs
• Valuation of a business

In Summary:

Operating and maintaining a business is often a rewarding decision for a small business owner, but it can be challenging without the right professional resources.

We help you build your professional team — lawyer, accountant, insurance advisor and banker — from day one, before commitments are made, documents are signed or deals are entered into.

With a good team of professional advisors in place, problems become challenges to be met, goals to be achieved, and successes to celebrate.
