Practical, Effective Legal Counsel in Business Law and Litigation
Business Formation • Contracts • Commercial Real Estate • Taxation
Business Organization and Entity Choice
The first important question to answer when you are starting a new business is: what form of organization should my business take? Your business law lawyer at The Meyer Law Firm can help you answer that question by considering a variety of factors:
- The type of business you intend to operate
- The level of personal financial risk you are willing to accept
- The degree of control you want to exercise
- The way you intend money to flow between the business and yourself as the business owner
From a sole proprietorship for a deli or coffee shop or a limited liability partnership for a beauty salon or medical practice to incorporation for a construction company or auto body shop, each type of business entity has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Contracts and Transactions
In almost every case, business success depends upon clear and complete contracts. A business contract will define rights and responsibilities, identify products and services to be exchanged and the method of exchange, and may even identify how disputes will be resolved.
The Meyer Law Firm provides contract drafting and review services essential to the successful conduct of your business, including leases, purchase and sale agreements, employment-related contracts, and non-compete agreements.
Commercial Real Estate
The Meyer Law Firm assists businesses with the purchase, sale, and leasing of commercial property—undeveloped land as well as warehouses, storefronts, office buildings, and office parks, including:
- Drafting contracts and purchase agreements
- Reviewing leases
- Litigating sale or lease disputes and construction contract disputes
Tax Problems
Many small businesses and sales or consulting entrepreneurs run into trouble with late tax filings, incomplete tax filings, or incorrect categorization of income and expenses on their tax returns. Attorney Bill Meyer holds a Masters of Law in Taxation and is the author of Federal Income Taxation (West Publishing, 1985). Additionally, his first-hand experience as a business owner gives him the knowledge and experience you need to help your business through state or federal tax problems.
Commercial Litigation and Appeals
The Meyer Law Firm represents clients seeking redress in court for breach of business contracts and in all types of construction-related litigation, employment litigation, real estate litigation, and bad faith insurance claims.
