What is Business Law?

Business law encompasses the rules and regulations governing business formation, operation, and dissolution. Business law also covers commercial transactions involving companies or individuals. Our firm’s business law practice includes a wide range of legal services to help companies operate efficiently while adhering to all applicable laws. 

Our Firm Offers Comprehensive Business Law Services

The laws that govern businesses are constantly evolving, and any error in a corporate transaction can have disruptive or disastrous results. Our Arizona business lawyers bring extensive experience in structuring, negotiating, and executing all types of corporate transactions. We learn our clients’ businesses so we can effectively advise them in ways that help them achieve their goals. We serve as outside General Counsel to clients with no attorney on staff when they need advice about business management and daily operations.

Our business transaction attorneys serve individuals and businesses across sectors, including:

• Asset management
• Consumer finance
• Professional services

• Financial services

• Manufacturing and distribution

We provide a comprehensive range of services in this complex area of law, offering general corporate and business counseling related to formations, reorganizations, dissolutions, sales, acquisitions, and financing. Our services extend to regulatory filings and intellectual property disputes.

We can take on these types of issues for our clients

Tax Strategy Services

Effective tax planning can minimize tax liabilities and maximize savings, ensuring compliance with current laws. Our firm provides tailored tax solutions, proactive advice, and year-round support to help individuals and businesses achieve their financial goals. We closely monitor changes to state and federal laws and develop strategies to best benefit our clients in an ever-changing tax landscape.

Contracts and Agreements

Contracts are fundamental to all business operations and are the foundation for nearly all business relationships and transactions. Our firm drafts, reviews, and negotiates contracts for our clients, including service agreements, lease agreements, purchase contracts, and partnership agreements. We build legally sound contracts that align with our client’s strategic goals, protecting their interests and minimizing potential risks.

Ownership

Clarity about business ownership is critical, especially in companies with multiple partners or stakeholders. We assist with structuring ownership agreements that clearly define each party’s rights and responsibilities. This includes buy-sell agreements, shareholder agreements, and other governance documents essential for smooth operational and ownership transitions.

Operational Compliance

Ensuring businesses comply with local, state, and federal regulations is vital for avoiding legal issues and fines. Our firm advises clients on compliance across various aspects of business operations, including corporate governance, environmental laws, consumer protection, and more. We help businesses understand their legal obligations and implement practices that allow them to comply easily.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions can facilitate business growth but involve complex legal considerations. Our attorneys guide clients through every step of these transactions, from due diligence to negotiating terms and finalizing the deal. We focus on ensuring that the transaction aligns with our client’s strategic objectives while addressing any legal, financial, or regulatory challenges that arise.

Intellectual Property Protection

Intellectual property is a critical asset for many Arizona businesses. Our firm helps clients secure and protect their intellectual property rights by registering trademarks, copyrights, and patents. We also assist with licensing agreements.

Business Succession

Planning for the future is essential for any business. We assist business owners in developing succession plans that provide for the continuity of their business after they retire, become incapacitated, or pass away. Our services include drafting succession plans, estate planning for business owners, and advising on the best practices for transfer of ownership.

Dispute Resolution and Litigation

Despite everyone’s best efforts, disputes are sometimes unavoidable. Our firm represents businesses in both negotiation and litigation, aiming to resolve disputes efficiently and favorably. We handle a variety of cases, from commercial litigation to contract disputes, always striving to protect our client’s interests and achieve the best possible outcome.

Our Arizona business attorneys are seasoned trial lawyers who have successfully tried numerous cases to verdict before juries and judges across various state and federal courts. Clients rely on us to handle their most complex disputes. Our attorneys represent individuals and business organizations, both domestic and international, in complex business litigation at every level.
