Business/Corporate Law

Background

We advise small business owners on legal matters concerning business formation, insurance basics, agreements and contracts, as well as regulatory compliance. Some people would refer to this work as that of a "business lawyer".

What is a Business Lawyer?

A "business lawyer" or "business attorney" generally refers to a lawyer who represents business entities of all types. These include corporations, LLCs, general partnerships, limited partnerships, sole proprietorships, associations, organizations, and joint ventures. Business lawyers also represent individuals who act in a business capacity (e.g., owners, proprietors, principals, managers, partners, directors, officers, controlling shareholders, entrepreneurs). Some business lawyers also represent other individuals in their dealings with business entities (e.g., contractors, subcontractors, consultants, minority shareholders, employees). Our practice is geared toward serving both small business owners and start-up companies.

Do I Need a Business Lawyer?

The short answer is "yes" if you are a business owner and you are concerned with the legal protection of your business and your personal assets. A business lawyer can advise you of the applicable laws and help you comply with them to avoid future disputes and lawsuits. A business lawyer can help protect your tangible and intangible assets and negotiate more favorable business transactions. Having a business lawyer can project positively on your business image, as well.

Furthermore, an established relationship with a business lawyer can be invaluable when you need to turn to someone who knows your business for quick legal guidance. We offer fee-based and fixed pricing plans so your company has greater cost control and certainty when deciding how to start, manage, and grow your business.

Testimonial

"I saved myself a lot of aggravation and potential liability by consulting with Attorney Barbour, before I chose which legal entity to use to form my business…she really knows her stuff! I would recommend that anyone interested in forming a business call her, like I did, to avoid the pitfalls associated with making the wrong choice" - VS - Milton, MA.
