Business and Corporate Law

Legal issues in business span a broad range and include relationships with vendors, customers and competitors.

Over the past twenty five years we have assisted our clients to achieve their long term strategies and goals, including:

• Business formation and organization

• Negotiations

• Contract drafting and implementation

• Transactional positioning

• Mergers and acquisitions

• Licensing and franchising

• Compliance

We also offer extensive litigation experience with a strong track record of success at trial. Our combined experience both in and out of the courtroom, has had positive impacts that have allowed many businesses to thrive and operate in competitive markets.

From our office in Salem, Massachusetts, we represent business clients in many different industries and have extensive experience pursuing favorable outcomes in many disputes involving:

• Breach of contract/breach of agreement

• Non-competition agreements

• Contractors

• Construction defects

• Wholesalers/manufacturers

• Partnerships

• Shareholders

• Franchises

• Collections

• Asset recovery

• Employees

• Purchase or sale of a business

When representing a business client, we work to protect the company, avoid or minimize potential liability and identify the most effective strategy.

Our goal is to minimize the uncertainty of the situation by exploring all options, possibilities and probabilities, and to resolve matters as expeditiously as possible. As we work to bring the dispute to an end in an efficient manner, our lawyers also work to minimize the impact of the legal issue on the company's operations.
