Pennsylvania Commercial Disputes Lawyer
Our Fairless Hills business law and ownership agreements attorney offers legal advice and representation in all legal aspects of running a business, including:
Business Organization and Start-Up — Choosing the appropriate business entity for your new company involves balancing your financial goals and ownership style with the level of liability and risk you are willing to accept. We can advise you on the strengths and weaknesses of various types of business structures (sole proprietorship, general or limited partnerships, incorporation). We can prepare your bylaws and articles of incorporation and help you obtain special licenses (private detective license, liquor license) and permits.
Franchises — Considering a franchise opportunity as a starting point for your new business? Allow us to review the franchise contracts, business leases and other business contracts to help you make the right decision about whether this franchise is a good fit for you.
Ownership Agreements and Disputes — Avoid arguing later about what was intended or permitted, and who makes decisions. The safe course is to start as early as possible, and keep current, on who is in control and with what oversight. Whether an LLC member, a partner, director, or shareholders, do not risk leaving to a handshake or letter how a business will be owned and operated. Remember, just because it is wrong does not mean no one will try. It is more difficult to protect a client once a problem has occurred. When it comes to business partnerships, governing boards and shareholders, spelling out the details of how a business will be owned and operated is essential.
We can help you prepare ownership, operations, shareholder, joint venture, licensing and partnership agreements; likewise various financial and management contracts that balance the need for strong leadership and protection for those following.
Contract Drafting and Enforcement - With business contracts, it's best to start with the end in mind. A thorough, detailed and accurate contract can help prevent business disputes from becoming court cases — and set the stage for you to win should you end up in court. Remember, being right is not enough if the cost is too high or it is too late to make a difference.
Employment Contracts and Non-Compete Agreements — It's vitally important for any business — but particularly for start-up businesses -- to protect proprietary information that gives them a competitive edge. Businesses typically do this with employment contracts and non-compete agreements for key sales and executive personnel, but when such contracts overreach, they become unenforceable. We can help you understand where your competitive edge really lies so your case for contract violations stands up in court.
Commercial and Industrial Real Estate — Considering the purchase or lease of a business or industrial property? We can help with everything from title search and title insurance to lease agreements and closing services. Talk to a commercial real estate attorney at the Law Offices of Elliot Mark Olen.
Strategic Business Planning — Take your business to the next level of profitability with a strategic plan to guide you through the next three, five or 10 years of business. We can also assist you with developing cost-effective business solutions and methods for preventing business problems that could lead to business litigation.
