Civil Litigation, Business & Real Property Lawyer

Whether you are launching a new venture or restructuring an existing business, our attorneys provide strategic guidance on entity selection (LLCs, corporations, partnerships), formation, operating agreements, contract drafting, and succession planning.

Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions an entrepreneur makes. Each entity type offers different advantages in terms of liability protection, tax treatment, management flexibility, and ability to raise capital. We analyze your specific situation and recommend the structure that best serves your goals.

Beyond formation, we draft comprehensive operating agreements, bylaws, shareholder agreements, and partnership agreements that anticipate potential disputes and establish clear governance procedures. We also help with business succession and exit planning to protect the value you have built.

Our team serves as your trusted outside general counsel, handling governance and compliance matters, risk management, contract review, and transactional support so you can focus on growing your business.

Having reliable legal counsel is essential for businesses of all sizes. We provide ongoing advice on employment matters, regulatory compliance, contract negotiations, vendor agreements, intellectual property protection, and day-to-day legal questions. Our outside general counsel service gives you access to experienced attorneys without the overhead of a full-time in-house legal department.

We proactively identify legal risks and develop strategies to mitigate them before they become costly problems. From board governance to commercial transactions, we help you make informed decisions that protect and grow your business.

When disputes arise, our litigation team delivers aggressive advocacy in contract disputes, shareholder and partner conflicts, trade secret matters, and pre-litigation strategy including mediation and settlement negotiations.

Commercial disputes can threaten the viability of your business. Whether you are enforcing a contract, defending against a breach claim, resolving a partnership dispute, or protecting trade secrets, we bring a strategic approach that considers both the legal merits and the business implications of every decision.

We pursue resolution through the most efficient means available — whether that is negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or trial. When litigation is necessary, we prepare thoroughly, present compelling cases, and fight aggressively for outcomes that protect your business interests.

We represent clients in ownership, title, and boundary disputes, landlord-tenant litigation, easement and access issues, real estate contract disputes, and construction defect matters across our service areas.

Real property disputes can involve significant financial stakes and complex legal issues. We handle quiet title actions, boundary line disputes, adverse possession claims, easement conflicts, and covenant enforcement. Our attorneys work with surveyors, appraisers, and other experts to build strong cases.

For landlords, we provide representation in eviction proceedings, lease enforcement, property damage claims, and tenant disputes. For property owners and developers, we handle construction defect claims, zoning issues, and contract disputes. We protect your real property interests with practical, results-oriented legal strategies.

Our attorneys handle trust formation, modification, and administration, fiduciary disputes, and provide guidance to trustees and beneficiaries on their rights and obligations under both state and federal law.

Trustees bear significant legal responsibilities, including the duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty to account, and duty of impartiality among beneficiaries. We advise trustees on how to fulfill these obligations properly and defend them when their administration is challenged.

When trustees fail in their duties, we represent beneficiaries seeking accountability, removal of the trustee, surcharge for losses, and other remedies. We also assist with trust modifications when circumstances have changed and the original trust terms no longer serve the settlor's intent.
