Corporate Law and Business Organization
Utilizing our experience, we advise business people making critical decisions during every stage of an entity’s development. We assist in the selecting and forming of the appropriate business entity; securing leased or owned commercial real estate; solving day-to-day financing, employment and business governance issues; and the negotiation of commercial contracts, including equipment leases and product and technology agreements.
Businesses and stockholders seek our advice to prepare and negotiate stockholder agreements that will govern their relationship with the business throughout the formation, financing, governance and operational phases. We work with our employment group to assist clients in the preparation of employment and consulting agreements that address both traditional and innovative compensation arrangements, protective non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants, and valuable intellectual property provisions.
