In addition to providing day-to-day business advice, we create the commercial contracts and documentation necessary for conducting business. We assist startup businesses in the selection of the entity or corporate structure and draft all formation and company governance documents. For established businesses, we advise on company finance and refinance matters and draft agreements relating to the purchase, sale, and financing of both goods and real estate. Our attorneys help companies grow and reach their full potential by structuring mutually beneficial joint venture agreements and providing counsel to both buyers and sellers in mergers and acquisitions. When the future of a business is uncertain, we are capable of quickly and ably addressing issues of succession planning, changes in ownership, sale of the business, exit strategies and, if necessary, business divorces or dissolutions.
