Small and growing companies might not have a need for full-time legal counsel, but that is where we come in. We assist large, small and growing companies with their corporate formation and governance, contract review and enforcement, and in navigating the hurdles associated with raising capital.

Business Formation and Governance -

• The formation of a new business is an exciting time. However, all too often, business owners start a new venture with the best of intentions, only to find themselves in dispute a few years down the line. If you are looking to form a new business it is imperative that you seek knowledgeable legal counsel. When we help you form a new business entity, our first step is to listen to what you hope to achieve. Based on your goals, we will guide you through the process and make sure that you select the business entity that best suits your needs. We then draft the necessary operating documents to reflect all of the owners’ capital contributions and future expectations. These documents minimize the risk of owner disputes and allow you to focus on growing your business.

Drafting, Reviewing and Enforcement of Contracts -

• A well drafted contract is an essential element of a successful business relationship. A good contract should clarify the responsibilities and expectations of the parties so as to eliminate future disputes. Our experience litigating contract claims enables us to foresee trouble areas in a contract and create legal mechanisms that discourage breaches. If you are about to enter into a contract we can review it and advise you of any areas of concern. If you have a contract that you have already been using, we can help you to ensure that it is really meeting you needs and not exposing you to potential liability.

Raising Capital -

• Raising capital in a business venture can be a regulatory minefield for new business owners. If you are at the point where you need more investors to grow your company to the next level, we can help you prepare all your documents. We have experience with private placements and other securities offerings. We can help you get the capital you need in a way that keeps you compliant with state and federal laws.
