What Is Business Law?

Businesses have myriad issues for which they need legal assistance.

Formation

Right from the start, it is crucial that you choose the correct form for your business. Our Pennsylvania business lawyers will help you determine whether you should form your business as a corporation, partnership, limited liability partnership (LLP) or limited liability company (LLC). We will advise you on the positives and negatives of each type of entity as we look at your company’s specific needs.

Purchase & Sale

Whether buying or selling a business, there are numerous issues about which you must be aware. We prepare contracts for our clients and analyze contracts prepared by the other side. It is critical to make sure your contract provides the protections necessary whether you are buying or selling a business.

Litigation

When a business dispute arises, you need attorneys who are known for fighting on behalf of their clients. We frequently represent our clients in court, and our opposition knows this. It is important that you retain counsel who will not shy away from trying cases. Opposing counsel will take advantage of any hesitation on the part of your lawyer to fight for you in court. We litigate Pennsylvania business issues, including:

  • Contract disputes
  • Unfair competition
  • Auction of business real estate and personal property
  • Business injuries, including wrongful interference with contractual relations
  • Defense of discrimination claims brought by employees and customers against our business clients
