Business & Contract Attorney

Areas of Practice


Business Formation

 

Hindery Law often works with clients starting new business ventures, so the first decision is to select the type of business entity to form. We can help you analyze your goals, assets, and operations, and will consider a C corporation, an S corporation, a limited liability company (LLC), a limited liability partnership (LLP), a general partnership, or perhaps a limited partnership. Operating agreements or bylaws are a good idea for all business entities and a legal requirement for many. We can take important measures to be sure that you have the liability protection you need. In addition, we will consider distributions, returns, deadlocks, voting, contributions, new members, and future sales. It is important to prepare from the beginning for any scenario your entity might face. Thus, we will also consider the effect of outright sale and or dissolution from early in the process.


Commercial Transactions

 

If you are purchasing or selling a business or an asset, it is important to get the advice you need from your business lawyer. Often , the first step will be drafting a letter of intent that identifies the common goals, thereby encouraging the parties to negotiate in good faith (the letter of intent will usually include a due diligence period prior to the sale, allowing for thorough confidential disclosures). Second, the initial purchase agreement is drafted and executed. The purchase agreement will lay out the business transaction through binding terms and conditions. Finally, Hindery Law will consider any outstanding issues or documents needed to close the sale.


Liability & Risk

 

Hindery Law has experience in a wide range of other issues that arise for owners of small business. We can help if any of the following issues arise: Tax audits, negotiation of commercial leases, business litigation, drafting of employee manuals, executive compensation, liquor license transfers for restaurants and other businesses, and many other issues that may arise in the operation of your business.
