General Business Transactions
We assist our clients with the formation of corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), general and limited partnerships, professional corporations, joint ventures and other types of business entities. In addition to forming the entity, we can help with related filings, permits, licenses and other organizational issues. Post-formation, we can assist with preparing and updating minutes of board of directors and shareholder meetings, LLC and partnership agreements and amendments, actions by unanimous consent and other documentation and filings relating to entity records maintenance. We create corporate governance principles for businesses and we establish the guidelines by which businesses operate to ensure compliance with all relevant laws.

We also advise clients with respect to negotiating and preparing licensing agreements, distribution agreements, nondisclosure and invention, project and rights assignment agreements and other IP instruments.
We help protect the company's intellectual property, a business asset that is becoming ever more important in today's economy. We arrange for copyright, trademark, service mark and trade dress protection. Further, we help protect and create enforcement mechanisms regarding trade secrets. Our advice extends to the company’s advertising, public relations and promotional activities, which can often involve issues of privacy, right of publicity and other "entertainment law" type issues.
We stand ready to act as a de facto "legal department" for corporate and company clients. Our array of legal services is well matched to assist today's competitive businesses in the management and growth of their company. We can help with review, drafting and revising employee handbooks, document drafting and review, contract drafting and review, business planning and strategy development, lease negotiations, as well as interactive and personalized cyber or Internet web site and online services.
