GENERAL COUNSEL SERVICES

Most small businesses need legal help from time to time – often more than the business principals realize.  We assist small businesses with the general legal services they need so that the principals can focus on growing the business.

 

Our services assist in:

  • Insulating small businesses from unnecessary liability;

  • Protecting small businesses from unfair provisions in proposed contracts;

  • Developing procedures and form agreements to streamline business flow;

  • Preserving the liability protection of properly formed and managed corporations and limited liability companies;

  • Preserving and protecting the business’s legal rights;

  • Managing legal claims by or against the business;

  • Proving general legal advice regarding the overall operation of the business; and

  • Providing checks and balances on specialized legal counsel retained by the client, and coordination of services.

 

In sum, we give small business owners peace of mind about the legal affairs of the business – all in a timely manner at reasonable rates.

"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."
