The beginning of any business starts long before the corporate documents are filed and the tax ID number is received. The attorneys at F&P understand this and help the client work through all of the needs and questions they have until the business is ready to “open its doors.” F&P provides guidance on creating the business plan, selecting the right form of business entity to best meet the client’s needs and putting into place the operational documents and contracts necessary to support a smooth running and successful company.
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, customers, 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.
Running a business can be hard enough without having to navigate legal requirements and the Court system by yourself. F&P can help you meet your legal needs, plan to protect your business and fight for you if needed so you can concentrate on success.
