Our skilled lawyers will advise you on initial formation of your business and determination of entity (sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, corporation, etc.), drafting documents and contracts among owners (buy sell agreements, non-compete agreements, etc.); and drafting agreements between employer and employee (confidentiality documents, non-compete documents, employee handbooks, etc.). We will advise you on matters of tax and we will assist you in resolving potential disputes. Owners have disagreements. We understand business values and we understand that sometimes owners wish to dissolve their business or to separate their interests.
