Business Law

Business Law

From the moment a business forms, and throughout its life cycle, there will be legal matters to address. Business law is not just one area of law, but many areas that govern a company’s formation, operation, contractual agreements, financing, intellectual property, securities, and even, insolvency. Businesses require legal advisors who recognize their distinctive needs, to help achieve their objectives and protect assets.

Partnership Disputes

When business partners, shareholders, members or other participants in an enterprise come to disagreement about business decisions, distribution of assets, or other corporate operational and governance issues, the resulting litigation can be contentious and distracting. Our experienced business litigators can help you aggressively resolve such disputes while protecting the viability of the business.

Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete Violations

When an employee leaves an organization, he/she may have contractual obligations to not solicit the former employer’s customers or compete for a particular period of time and/or in a particular geographic area. The enforceability of those obligations often depends on the agreement and whether it has been enforced in a clear and consistent manner. Our business litigators can evaluate your non-solicitation or non-compete agreements to help you pursue or defend against claims.

Vendor Disputes

When you rely on vendors to get you products or services, any disruption to that supply chain can be devastating and create a domino effect of missed deadlines and reputational damages. Our experienced lawyers can review the prevailing contract and pursue all available remedies to make you whole.
