Business Law Transactions
 

Small Business Representation

Small businesses may need representation in a variety of situations.  A small business may need help in collecting an outstanding account, drafting a business contract, or resolving a dispute with a customer, supplier, or even another business.  Whatever the case may be, a small business should always have competent legal representation.

Contract Drafting and Review

Every agreement between businesses and between business people should be memorialized in a written agreement.  Having a good written agreement that sets forth all of the relevant terms in a clear, complete, and concise manner will go a long way toward avoiding future disagreements and will give the parties something to enforce should it become necessary.


Lease Drafting and Review

The drafting and review of a Lease is critical to any lease transaction.  All terms of the Lease must be spelled out and every agreement between the landlord and tenant must be included in the Lease.  Many Lease provisions have serious consequences which must be understood and considered before signing a Lease.

Loan Modifications

In our current economic climate, circumstances may arise that require consideration of a loan modification.  Declining values, reduced cash flow, and maturing loans sometimes lead to the need for a loan modification.  In many instances, it may be a good idea to have a representative help negotiate the terms of a loan modification to make sure the modification accomplishes its objective.

Real Estate Transactions

Real estate contracts, deeds, deeds of trust, and title insurance are important elements in every real estate transaction.  Each element needs to be handled appropriately and in the correct manner.  Real estate contracts need to be detailed and include all provisions of the sale.  Deeds and deeds of trust need to be drafted in the correct form.  Title issues must be considered and evaluated appropriately.

Debt Collection

From time to time businesses may need help collecting outstanding accounts.  Sometimes a simple demand letter is all that is necessary.  Other times a lawsuit may be required.  Understanding the various collection mechanisms and the remedies available under the law is critical to successfully collecting outstanding accounts.
