Business Formation
Our firm helps business owner’s open doors to new opportunities. By providing expert legal representation, we can assist in achieving the short and long term goals set by our clients. The first step in doing this is making certain what business entity best fits our client’s needs:

We want to keep the professional relationship with our clients ongoing with outside counseling services for Arizona businesses.

Business Transactions and Agreements

Trademark/Copyrights
Obtaining trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property protections is essential in giving our clients an edge on their competitors. Our firm processes necessary documents to file as fast as possible in these time sensitive dealings.

Business Protection
For small and medium business owners, personal and business liabilities often go hand-and-hand. It is crucial to ensure that businesses are structured correctly so that these risks do not impact our client’s personal finances, or vice-versa. Business liability protection plans can save our clients from the aggravation of litigation, as well as serving to prevent financial damages.

Business Succession Planning
Estate planning not only protects your family after you have passed on, it should also include what is necessary to maintain the operation of your small or medium business. Having a succession plan for your business will ensure the values your company embodied are kept beyond your time. This is why it is important that you have an experienced attorney guard your wishes.

Why should you have a Succession Plan?
Having a business succession plan is like having a will for your professional family, or your business entity. It can ensure that your business passes to family members, close friends or business partners as you intended. Having a clear plan of succession will also avoid any litigation, should an ownership dispute arise. It can also ensure that any contracts that were made during your ownership are honored as you intended.
