Business Formations & General Business Counseling

Our New Jersey business law attorneys assist many new and emerging businesses with all aspects of their formation, growth, financing and development.

Range of Services

In particular, our NJ business lawyers provide services in the following areas:

• Business Incorporation Services, Start-up and growth planning, including identifying and structuring an appropriate legal entity such as a limited liability company or limited liability partnership or S Corp, assisting in the preparation of business plans, structuring and drafting agreements among stockholders and partners, and drafting and reviewing website disclaimers and agreements.

• Negotiating and structuring debt instruments and other financing relationships; representation in initial public offerings; structuring and drafting employment, consulting and non-compete agreements and drafting and providing advice regarding various types of stock option and other equity incentive plans, employee stock savings plans and other employee benefit plans.

• Negotiating and structuring corporate partner relationships, acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, and distribution arrangements.

• General business representation, including advice in connection with bank loans, leases and other business contracts.

Because of our extensive background in litigation, our New Jersey attorneys bring a unique perspective in representing business clients.    Every agreement that we draft or review is done with an eye toward protecting our clients in the event of future litigation.   Too often, the only ones who understand an agreement are the parties themselves.    However, if a judge is unable to understand what an agreement means then the agreement is not worth the paper it's written on.

Thus, we approach business law agreements under a "what can go wrong" approach.  In doing so, we make sure that our clients' rights are protected should the parties to the agreement ever wind up in a dispute concerning interpretation or enforcement of the agreements in a court of law.
