Our Business Law Services Offered from Our Business Law Firm
We take pride in being a full-service business and corporate law, firm to represent clients. Examples of transactional legal services we provide to our business clients include:
- Business Formation (partnership, LLC, corporations) : The business entity form you choose can matter enormously moving forward. It can shield or expose you to legal liability for business debts, and it can make obtaining future funding harder than it should be. Let us help you identify the correct business form or assist with transitioning to a different form.
- Buy-Sell Agreements : Any time an owner exits a firm there is a risk of a company being thrown into chaos. Buy-sell agreements limit this risk in the event an owner retires, dies, or loses property in a divorce. Let us craft a buy-sell agreement that protects your company.
- Business Dissolution : A business needs to wind up properly, otherwise the owners could end up on the wrong end of a lawsuit. Our business lawyers can check all the boxes to ensure your dissolution is as smooth as possible.
- Corporate and LLC Governance : Business owners and managers need on-the-spot legal advice to handle a variety of confusing issues. We are only a phone call away to help with any governance issue.
- Tax Strategy : The IRS is always eager to come after a business, and the media enjoys promoting stories about companies failing to pay their “fair share.” Hire Maaron Law Firm for ethical, accurate tax strategy that protects your company while also minimizing the tax bill.
- Employment Compliance : Employers need to follow detailed employment laws. Some issues include protecting your company from allegations of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. We can also advise on the creation of employment agreements, non-compete clauses, and non-disclosure agreements.
- Trade Secret Protection : Customer lists, copyrights, and other proprietary information have grown increasingly valuable for companies over the past 20 years. We can help you protect this information with appropriate agreements.
- Contract Drafting and Revision : No business should fill-in-the-blank contracts found online, or simply agree to another company’s terms. Instead, you need contracts specifically designed for your industry and the prime risks you face. We can draft or negotiate any type of legal agreement, including licenses.
Litigation Services For Our Business Clients
Additionally, Maaron Law Firm attorneys are noble and experienced court attorneys. We regularly handle a variety of business and commercial litigation law matters, including :
- Shareholder Disputes : We can represent you or your company in disputes involving breach of fiduciary duties, breach of shareholder agreements, conflicts of interest, distribution of dividends, and more.
- Business Dissolution : Business liabilities are often a focus of litigation when a company dissolves. We can handle any type of business dissolution litigation.
- Business Reorganization Bankruptcy : Chapter 11 allows debtors to remain in possession of their companies while reorganizing their debt. We can help you through this process, including the new “small business” Chapter 11 option.
- Contract Litigation : Broken contracts are a fact of life for many businesses. Let us craft a litigation strategy and discuss possible remedies, such as specific performance or damages. We can also discuss whether negotiation, mediation, or arbitration are ideal methods of resolving the dispute.
- Non-compete Enforcement : Any breach of a non-compete agreement requires immediate action before trade secrets are disclosed and your company is harmed. We can defend a non-compete agreement as valid in court.
- Lien Foreclosures : We are prepared to help business clients foreclose on a lien or defeat a foreclosure action, depending on your needs.
- Fraudulent Business Practice Litigation : Our lawyers can represent your business in any type of fraudulent business claim, including allegations against your company for making misleading statements or failing to disclose information. We can also help bring a claim against one of your competitors for passing off their goods as yours or committing other deceptive practices.
