Our lawyers also help businesses avoid litigation by drafting carefully crafted corporate documents to facilitate current and future day-to-day operations, including buy-sell agreements, non-compete agreements, confidentiality documents, and employee handbooks and guidelines.
Corporate governance and compliance with government regulations are essential components of any successful business. We are experienced in counseling businesses on a range of compliance and regulatory matters from tax elections and updating stock records to the fiduciary responsibilities of owners, executives and directors.
We assist businesses in the planning and execution of acquiring another business organization as well as in divesting all or part of existing operations.
Similarly, we have assisted many professional practices and other entities in the dissolution of their business. Our lawyers have the expertise to counsel owners to a satisfactory resolution and, if necessary, resolve any serious lasting differences through arbitration, mediation or litigation.
