Business Law FAQs

When should I talk to a business attorney?

Early is best—especially when forming a business, bringing in partners, signing a lease, taking on debt, or
entering a major contract. Legal review can reduce risk and avoid expensive disputes later.

Do you help with disputes between partners or shareholders?

Yes. We help clients evaluate rights and remedies, pursue negotiated resolutions when appropriate, and
litigate when necessary.

Can you review or draft contracts?

Yes. We draft and review business contracts and leases, focusing on clarity, enforceability, and practical
risk allocation.
