Business and Financial Law Questions

Business and finance law covers issues related to starting, financing, operating, and dissolving a business. Common areas of litigation pertain to consumer protection disputes, contractual disputes, and government compliance issues.

Attorneys provide legal assistance with transactions, including agreements of sale, joint ventures, and venture capitalist financing. Attorneys negotiate contracts, draft them, and interpret contracts prior to signing. They also provide counsel on mergers and acquisitions, including negotiating deals, using their expertise to advise of typical terms and conditions, and protecting their clients rights.

Business lawyers also provide counsel for public offerings and corporate restructuring and draft necessary documents. Additionally, practitioners in business and finance law identify government regulations and ensure the businesses are in compliance with them. Counsel can also advise businesses faced with government issues related to environmental waste or other government violations.

Attorneys assist with branding and licensing agreements and termination. Business and finance attorneys advise of tax-exempt status and provide information specific to non-profit business organizations, including how to obtain non-profit status. They can also review documentation to provide tax analysis and recommendations.

Attorneys assist with leveraged buyouts and financing from multiple sources, including syndications, whereby large loans are financed by multiple lending institutions. Businesses often have an ongoing relationship with counsel due to the many transactions and issues arising during the course of operating a business.
