because we represent
00:06
uh so many different clients of
00:07
different shapes and sizes and different
00:09
capabilities
00:10
we need to be very familiar with a
00:13
variety of different areas of law it
00:16
starts out with
00:17
with business formation and creation
00:20
frequently clients come to us
00:22
and they know they want to start a
00:24
business they really don’t have a great
00:26
understanding of what
00:27
type of business they want to establish
00:29
whether it be
00:30
corporations or limited liability
00:32
companies or partnerships
00:34
we listen to them we find out what their
00:36
needs are and we create the best
00:38
possible legal structure for them we
00:40
work with them in their governing
00:42
documents
00:43
that could vary greatly based on the
00:46
type of management they want to
00:48
establish
00:49
we’re mindful at a very early stage
00:52
about succession planning about what
00:55
what a business owner might want to do
00:57
to pass either the management or the
00:59
ownership
00:59
on and we really try to be mindful of
01:02
that
01:02
at the beginning so that we can include
01:04
that in there
01:05
in their governing documents once the
01:08
business is established
01:10
we’re prepared to work with them in
01:12
everything they need us to do
01:13
that could be contract review with their
01:16
vendors
01:16
that could be corporate transactions
01:19
asset purchase agreements
01:20
stock purchase agreements that could be
01:23
corporate financing
01:25
working with banks and developing loan
01:27
loan agreements that could be
01:28
intellectual property we do trademark
01:30
work and other areas of law
01:31
to protect the businesses intellectual
01:34
property
01:35
we do a great deal of labor and
01:36
employment work we really try to
01:38
structure
01:40
our work to avoid employment disputes
01:43
drafting handbooks creating best
01:45
practices in terms of
01:47
managing employment issues when
01:50
employment claims inevitably inevitably
01:52
arise we work with
01:54
clients to address their employment
01:57
claims
01:58
so we work with them really for
02:00
everything they need us to do
02:02
and in the unhappy event that there is a
02:05
dispute that arises that can’t be
02:07
resolved
02:08
we zealously represent our clients
02:11
in litigation and arbitration i would
02:14
say we make every effort to avoid that
02:16
because
02:17
frankly that’s not why businesses exist
02:19
they don’t exist to litigate they don’t
02:20
exist to arbitrate and engage in
02:22
disputes
02:23
we work with them in a negotiation
02:25
process and a mediation process
02:28
but if matters can’t be resolved at that
02:30
level we represent them very
02:32
aggressively
02:33
in litigation and arbitration
