General Counsel for Your Business

Many small and mid-sized businesses in northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire depend on us to serve as their general counsel. We provide comprehensive client service on the full spectrum of business transactions and legal issues.

Entity Selection and Formation

Our lawyers can explain the pros and cons of incorporation, sole proprietorship, general or limited partnership, or LLC as the right vehicle for limiting personal liability, preserving management flexibility and accommodating growth. We'll make sure that your new company is properly registered with complete documentation defining the rights and responsibilities of each member of your ownership group.

Corporate Governance

Through the use of buy-sell agreements, business succession planning tools, and clearly drafted bylaws and operating agreements, we help make sure that your officers, directors and managers have a thorough understanding of their respective responsibilities under a wide range of challenges and circumstances. We work closely with your company and management team to clear up misunderstandings and resolve disputes before they get messy and expensive.

Hands-On Counsel for Business Operations

We help our business clients navigate any obstacles that the law can present, from environmental regulations to tax liability. We help you plan ahead for the risks inherent in all of your business transactions:

• Commercial banking and finance matters
• Employment contracts
• Equipment leases
• Real estate transactions
• Vendor or customer contracts
• Licensing issues

Purchase or Sale of Business Assets

Successful small businesses tend to get bigger through acquisition of other businesses or expansion to new markets. We help make sure your management and equity structure can accommodate growth at any scale or pace. We can negotiate and document all of your major business transactions.

Business Litigation

As experienced trial attorneys, we have the capacity to handle business litigation of any complexity, from commercial collections to complex claims or counterclaims of fraud or misrepresentation. We're ready to stand behind our agreements and documentation in court whenever necessary.
