Areas of Practice
BUSINESS
Even if your business isn’t yet on the Fortune 500, you still have legal needs. From formation to dissolution and everything in between, we’ll serve as your outside general counsel to make sure your business has the legal advice it needs.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Your ideas are among your most important assets. We’ll help protect your trademarks and copyrights from the beginning or defend them against infringement when a conflict arises.
compliance
Our background in government and public policy means we understand the intricacies of local, state, and federal laws and regulations. We’ll provide sound advice to help you comply with HIPPA, licensing, or other applicable requirements.
REAL ESTATE
A real estate purchase or lease can be one of the most significant decisions you can make. We have experience representing both residential and commercial clients. Whether it’s the purchase of your first home, the negotiation of a business lease, or the rental of a second home for profit, we are prepared to help.
NONPROFITS
We’ve worked with and for nonprofits, and we understand the unique nature of your corporation. We’ll provide advice with formation, tax-exempt, or employment issues so that you can focus on doing good work.
risk management
There is truth in the old saying about an ounce of prevention. All businesses - regardless of size - need to reduce their legal liabilities and risks. We emphasize strategic and proactive advice to help minimize both.
employment
Whether you are an employer, employee, or independent contractor, you know the importance of a good employment relationship. We are skilled at drafting employment and contractor agreements, employee handbooks, and other corporate policies. We also have particular expertise helping physicians review and negotiate employment agreements.
ESTATE PLANNING
It’s easy to put off your end of life considerations. We are here to prepare wills, trusts, and advance directives to make sure that your children are cared for and your wishes are carried out.
LAW and PUBLIC Policy
Sometimes a strictly legal solution won’t address your problem. We’ll draw on our legal experience, public affairs knowledge, and government background to analyze relevant policies and advise you about non-legal ways to reach your objectives.
