Counsel for the decisions that cannot wait.
We advise closely held businesses and the people who run them — on the transaction in front of you, and on the exposure behind it.
Request a consultationBusiness & corporate
Formation, governance, shareholder arrangements, and the agreements that decide what happens when circumstances change.
Real estate
Acquisitions, leasing, land use, and closings — including the diligence that keeps a closing from slipping.
Estates & succession
Wills, trusts, and the orderly transfer of a business to the next set of hands.
Employment
Handbooks, classification, restrictive covenants, and the difficult conversation before it becomes a claim.
Disputes
Negotiation, mediation, and litigation when it is warranted — with a candid read on what each is likely to cost.
Contracts
Drafting and review for the agreements a business signs often enough that the terms deserve to be right.
Scoped in writing
You receive the scope, the fee basis, and who will do the work before the engagement begins. No open meters.
Answered the same week
Matters move when questions get answered. Calls and messages are returned within one business day.
Told plainly
