Once the doors have opened the new business still has legal needs. From reviewing vendor contracts to managing the customer who refuses to meet their obligations, F&P has the practical experience to help. This may involve informal negotiations or it may mean seeking the assistance of the court system and everything between. The attorneys at F&P have years of experience in alternative dispute resolution and litigation and the experience to put forth practical and efficient solutions to any problem.

Asset protection is another crucial aspect of running a business. Those assets are, at times, obvious and, at other times, not so obvious. They can include: money and inventory, but can also include intellectual property, market knowledge or key employees. The attorneys at F&P work with its clients to create and to assist in putting into place policies and procedures, employee contracts, non-compete/ nondisclosure agreements and other documents that best meet the needs of the client both now and in the future.

Almost any type of case can develop into a lawsuit. For instance, a contractual transaction can quickly become a lawsuit in the event of a breach or nonpayment. A real estate deal can become a lawsuit when one party improperly changes its mind or cannot convey clear title. A lawsuit can arise when it is discovered that an employee, who otherwise properly separates from an employer, has removed confidential documents from the worksite. And of course, individuals who are injured by a defective product, in car accidents, slip and falls, or who suffer some other injury due to a third party's negligence, often require litigation support.

Our attorneys have the experience to handle every aspect of litigation, from inception to trial. We also have the experience to handle most types of lawsuits, from the straightforward to the complex. In the event a matter reaches the appellate level, we have experience in the appellate process and the appellate courts as well.

By virtue of our litigation experience, F&P affords each client access to the judicial system and to seek the legal and equitable relief to which they may be entitled.

We can assist our business clients in developing policies and procedures that manage employer liability exposure. We also provide legal advice and assistance regarding such issues as employee handbook preparation, records retention, privacy issues, workplace disputes, defending discrimination claims, wage disputes, employee contracts, nondisclosure and non-competition agreements, workplace safety, and other matters.

For the employee, we review proposed employment agreements, relocation agreements, separation agreements, and other contracts or documents which potentially affect the client's interests. Family medical leave, wrongful termination, whistleblower protection, salary and benefits disputes are some other matters we resolve for our clients. We also litigate discrimination claims, including:

1. Americans with disabilities;
2. Age discrimination;
3. Discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, and other protected classes.

Our attorneys are also experienced in handling commercial transactions, such as the sale or purchase of commercial realty. We also draft and review lease agreements, as well as handle any landlord-tenant disputes, both residential and commercial.

The purchase of a new home or commercial parcel is exciting, yet if not handled properly, can result in substantial aggravation and monetary loss. The attorneys of F&P strive to make the process seamless and uneventful for the benefit of our clients.

By leveraging technology to provide better and quicker service to its clients, F&P reduces the amount of paper generated by the practice of law. Instead of sending paper documents to the client by mail, F&P can use email to electronically deliver PDF copies. This not only reduces the amount of paper used and the amount of fuel needed by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the document to you, it also gives you almost instant access to the status of your case.

When we do need to send paper copies to the Court, to other parties to the case or for transactions we use 100% recycled paper - again minimizing the impact of paper consumption on our natural resources. Where appropriate or permitted that document is printed on both sides.

These are just some examples of F&P's commitment to the environment and we are always looking for ways to provide better service and reduce our impact on the environment.
