Business Formation & Organization Services

Our law firm provides a wide range of services designed to support business formation and organization. We assist clients in selecting the appropriate type of business entity, such as sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), corporation, or nonprofit, based on an evaluation of the business’ needs, goals, and potential liabilities. This includes providing insight on ownership structure, capitalization, and the future scalability of the organization.

Once the business entity is chosen, we assist clients through the necessary steps to legally establish the business. This may involve drafting and filing the required paperwork, like articles of incorporation for a corporation or operating agreements for an LLC, with the relevant government agencies.

For businesses that require board governance, such as corporations, we can assist with setting up appropriate governance structures and establish bylaws. We can also help design and implement shareholder agreements, stock purchase agreements, subscription agreements, and other critical business contracts. If needed, our firm can also advise on meeting and reporting requirements to ensure regulatory compliance.

In addition, our law firms offer ongoing counsel to ensure businesses stay legally compliant as they grow and evolve. We can also aid in dispute resolution and litigation, protect intellectual property, handle employment law matters, and ensure compliance with privacy and data security laws.

Trademark Registrations and Other Trademark Services

Our law firm provides comprehensive services to assist businesses in protecting their brand identity and securing their trademark rights. One of the core services we provide is conducting a thorough trademark search. This search is performed to determine if a desired trademark is available for use in the marketplace, thus helping to prevent potential infringement disputes and legal complications.

Once the availability of the mark is established, the trademark attorney can guide clients through the registration process. This involves preparing and filing a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or relevant international offices for clients seeking protection beyond U.S. borders. The attorney ensures that the application meets all legal requirements, including accurately describing the goods or services associated with the mark.

Beyond the initial search and registration, we offer services to maintain, monitor, protect, enforce the trademarks. We assist with the regular renewal of trademark registrations and monitor the market for potential infringements. In case of any suspected infringement, our attorneys can take necessary actions, such as sending cease-and-desist letters, negotiating settlements, or, if necessary, initiating litigation.

Moreover, if a business wishes to license their trademark or if they are interested in acquiring or using someone else’s trademark, we can negotiate and draft licensing agreements.

Business Contract Review & Development

Our business attorneys offers a range of services related to business contract review and development, which are crucial in safeguarding the interests of a business and mitigating legal risks. The contract review process typically involves a thorough examination of existing contracts to ensure they are legally sound, do not contain any hidden liabilities or pitfalls, and align with the business’s objectives. Our attorneys review a variety of contracts, including but not limited to reseller agreement, consultancy agreements, independent contractor agreements, purchase and sale agreements, sales representative agreements, vendor agreements, employment contracts, commercial lease agreements, business organization agreements, etc.

When it comes to contract development, generally our role is to draft contracts that effectively outline the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of all parties involved. The goal is to create legally binding documents that are clear, concise, and leave little room for interpretation or dispute. Whether it’s developing non-disclosure agreements, service contracts, business organization agreement, employment and independent contractor agreements, or licensing agreements, our attorneys ensure that each contract is tailored to the client’s specific needs and circumstances, while also complying with relevant laws and regulations.

Moreover, a business attorney can provide advice and assistance in contract negotiation to help clients secure the best possible terms. If disputes arise, the attorney can aid in contract dispute resolution, either through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation if necessary.

Business Sales and Purchases (M&A)

Our business attorneys provides comprehensive services pertaining to the sale and purchase of businesses, playing a crucial role in guiding clients through these complex transactions. Whether a client is buying or selling a business, our attorneys assists at every stage, starting with due diligence and the drafting and development of the Letter of Intent.

Following due diligence, our attorney assists with drafting and negotiating the terms of the purchase or sale agreement, ensuring the client’s interests are well protected. This purchase document typically includes details about the purchase price, payment terms, contingencies, representations and warranties, closing conditions, and indemnification clauses. Our attorneys ensure all terms are clear, fair, and legally enforceable.

On the buying side, our attorneys assist with navigating the complexities of acquiring a business. This could involve securing financing, obtaining necessary licenses and permits, and negotiating employment contracts with key employees of the business being purchased.

Finally, our attorney will facilitate the closing process to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. This involves preparing all necessary documentation, addressing any last-minute disputes, and ensuring that all conditions of the sale are met.
