Let Us Handle The Hard Work
Professional Representation
A business representative provides legal services for a business when it comes to operations and regulations. Typically, they assist with issues like business formation, business dispute resolution, corporate laws, and the sales/transfers of businesses. They also usually have a hand in other matters like corporate compliance, securities, and other more.
Typically, the types of cases business attorneys handle include:
- Business Disputes;
- Conflicts with sale and purchase of stocks or other securities;
- Business property ownership issues;
- Ensuring compliance with business regulation and other laws;
- Preventing the improper use of protected business information, like copyrighted and trademarked materials;
- Interstate and international legality issues, like the transportation of goods;
A good business attorney will have experience representing many different types of clients, including business owners, insurance agencies, employees, and many other parties.
In addition to litigating business disputes, a business attorney will assist with various tasks, such as:
- Assisting with negotiation, drafting, and reviewing of business contracts;
- Assisting with business start-up processes and incorporation filings;
- Addressing business termination or issues that may arise during transfer;
- Helping a company to shift or completely change their organizational structure;
Thus, business attorneys can be consulted for a wide variety of different legal issues. In some lawsuits, a business lawyer can play the role of an expert witness (for instance, if the court needs additional information in regards to a particular business practice).
