Business owners need a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities, as well as the legal issues that can affect all aspects of their business. As your company's general counsel, we can assist you in a wide variety of business related legal matters including:
Agreements form the basic essence of interactions among businesses and individuals, and recognition of the sanctity of contract is a cornerstone of business dealings in our society. We assist our clients in creating sound and enforceable business contracts and agreements, such as secured and unsecured financial agreements, asset and stock purchase agreements, non-compete agreements, sales contracts, shareholder and member agreements, government and service contracts, commercial and residential leases, and various rental agreements. In addition to contract development services, we also negotiate, review and litigate contracts as needed.
We provide advice, assistance and representation in all general collection matters for secured and unsecured creditors, lienholders, judgment creditors, landlords and others. We represent creditors in both the state and federal courts. We have extensive experience in the perfection, filing and enforcement of various liens, including construction related mechanics' and materialmen's liens, and oil and gas mineral liens. We can also assist clients with the judgment enforcement.
We can guide you through all aspects of a business purchase, sale or merger, including negotiations, due diligence issues and processes, valuation issues, financing issues, drafting and reviewing contract documentation, evaluation of real estate issues, and closing the final transaction. Whether you are buying a new business or selling your existing one, our goal is to assist you in protecting and maximizing your interests throughout the process.
Although we strive to assist our clients in avoiding business disputes, when conflicts cannot be resolved we provide efficient, effective and aggressive representation in all disputed legal matters through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or civil litigation.
