In addition to helping you choose that structure -- Sole Proprietor, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Partnership, S-Corp, C-Corp, etc. – we can draft and execute all the required documents, such as partnership agreements and articles of incorporation.

We have represented both for-profit and not-for profit organizations in numerous industries and have been involved in resolving business legal issues that include:

Contracts

We have extensive experience protecting the interests and assets of our clients, including drafting, negotiating, and reviewing contracts, as well as any contract-related litigation. All of our contracts are customized to your needs. All contracts employ straight-forward language without jargon (legalease). Our goal is to make the document as short as possible while still meeting your needs and protecting your interest.
