Business Law and Corporate Entities
If you are starting a new business or looking to move your current business to the next level, you may be looking to establish a limited liability company or corporation. Organizing your business as a limited liability company or corporations is necessary to protect your personal assets from liability or debt incurred by your business. Equally important is operating your multi-owner business in accordance with a well-drafted operating agreement or bylaws, which are documents that define the business owners’ rights and responsibilities to the business and to each other. Or, maybe you’ve built your business over a lifetime and are looking to retire, and you need assistance structuring the sale in a way that maximizes your return and minimizes your liability. No matter your needs, we can help!

Civil Litigation
If the prospect of litigation is on your horizon, or if you are involved in litigation, you need an experienced civil litigation attorney in your corner. In looking for representation, an attorney’s thorough knowledge of the complex rules governing litigation and trial practiceis an obvious requirement. Less evident, but also essential, however, is your attorney’s understanding of the informal rules that influence litigation. For example, every judge and court commissioner prefers a different litigation style, has a different personality and demeanor, and reacts differently under pressure from an attorney for a favorable ruling. Even judges’ clerks, who are the gatekeepers to court filings and judges’ calendars,have preferences of which your attorney should be aware. Having litigated hundreds of cases, we have the experience and knowledge, formal and informal, to provide you with efficient and effective representation.
