What we do

Running a business can be one of the most exciting and stressful things you can do. It requires courage, a strong vision, tenacity, … and help from others. We help businesses start up and succeed.

Business formation

Starting your business is our business. Selecting a type of business entity is an important first step. We will help you evaluate your options, set up your business, and more.

Business agreements

Agreements are the lifeblood of a business. We draft and review agreements to ensure they meet your needs while protecting your legal rights. Some of the types of agreements we regularly draft include:

• Shareholder, partnership and LLC operating agreements
• Client and vendor agreements
• Licensing agreements
• Non-disclosure agreements, confidentiality agreements, non-competition agreements, and non-solicitation agreements.
• … and more.

Employment law

Complying with labor and employment laws can be difficult and penalties for violating them can be expensive. We work with businesses to reduce their risks, including drafting, reviewing, and editing:

• Employee handbooks customized for your particular business
• Employment and independent contractor agreements
• Class action waivers and arbitration agreements
• … and more.

We also represent employers with whom we have a longstanding relationship in employment litigation.

Commercial Litigation

Business disputes will arise from time to time regardless of the best intentions of the parties. We represent businesses and business owners in litigation with customers, vendors, debtors, creditors, and other business owners.
