Business Formation & Transactions
Entities and agreements built to survive a fight. Every clause drafted with the courtroom in view, by the lawyer who would be the one arguing it there.
SCOPE
What the firm handles
- Entity selection and formation — LLCs, corporations, partnerships
- Operating, shareholder and partnership agreements with real deadlock and exit mechanics
- Buy-sell provisions, valuation triggers and succession terms
- Purchase and sale of businesses and business assets
- Commercial contracts: services, supply, leases, restrictive covenants
- Construction contracts reviewed before they are signed
- Commercial lending documents — including loans secured by real property
- Insurance and risk review at formation: D&O, EPL and the coverage a new venture actually needs
- Counsel to owners restructuring a relationship before it becomes a lawsuit
METHOD
How the firm approaches it
Every clause is tested against one question: what happens when the partners stop agreeing? Partnership litigation nearly always traces back to a document that went silent at the decisive moment. So these documents do not go silent: deadlock has a procedure, exit has a price, and the duty everyone owes is written down while everyone is still friendly.
The drafting is deliberately plain-spoken. Owners leave understanding their own documents.
Build it once, properly.
Formation engagements are typically flat-fee, scoped at the outset.
