Business Law

Calling all entrepreneurs!  Whether you want to start a business or are currently running one, we can add value and improve your bottom line.

What type of entity are you or should you be?  All types of business whether they are partnerships, LLC’s, non-profits, or corporations are governed by the California Business Professions and Code.   We will explain the legal implications of business law and formation and guide you to the entity that best meets your needs for now and the future.

Are you getting the most benefit from your contracts?  We can review your contracts with customers and vendors to make sure you are receiving the benefit of your bargain.  Entering into a new contract? We can help you negotiate the best terms for your business. 

Do you have employees or plan to hire?  Any business that wants to grow will eventually need to find help but managing employees and/ or independent contractors can difficult and even risky.  We can help you navigate the legal implications of hiring employees and advise you regarding any employee issues you may be facing. 

We pride ourselves on ensuring our clients’ opportunities are maximized in negotiation and their risks are minimized through our outsourced-in-house counsel model.  While these strategies can lessen instances of adversarial actions, sometimes litigation is necessary. 

If you find yourself facing a lawsuit, the stress can be overwhelming and you need the advice of counsel. We are skilled creative problem solvers with years of experience in business, real estate, insurance, environmental and employment litigation and strive to meet client objectives and exceed their expectations.
