Business Relationships and Transactions

Business Formation & Commercial Transactions

We provide a broad array of services to existing businesses and start-ups of all sizes, with particular emphasis in real estate development and investment ventures, contractors, medical practice groups, individual investors, and private lenders.  Beyond simple corporate and LLC formation and maintenance, we have extensive experience in the creation of complex operating agreements, shareholders agreements, buy-sell agreements, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, dissolutions and the purchase and sale of existing businesses and business assets.

General Counsel

We provide general counsel to a wide variety of small and medium sized businesses on general contract matters, vendor relations, creditor relations, employment issues, governmental relations, investor relations, franchising, general real estate, leasing and other matters.

 Litigation

We do not provide litigation services, but maintain a carefully culled list of referral sources (both local and Phoenix-based) for those instances when a client has no option but to engage litigation counsel.  We have served as advisory counsel over the years in litigation and arbitration matters, and that experience has only bolstered our commitment to assist clients involved in disputes to find creative solutions to problems short of litigation.  It has also reinforced our belief that one of the best means of staying out of litigation is the relatively modest investment in adequate documentation of business relationships and of the means of dealing with unanticipated events and disputes that may arise within those relationships.
