What Services We Can Offer You

For more than 30 years, we have helped small and medium-sized corporations, businesses and individuals with their corporate legal matters in New Jersey, including:

Corporation formation and business planning continues long after the articles of incorporation are first written. Businesses must plan for profitability, tax consequences, employment issues, and other concerns. Business can change with commercial needs and realities, and savvy businesspeople will keep an open eye for changing risks and opportunities. We will help you launch your new corporation to minimize risk and legal liability to promote your success.

NJ Contracts - Whether it’s a goods or services contract, employment agreement, licensing and/or distribution agreement (or any other type of contracted agreement), a contract defines and controls the business relationship. Let us be a clear voice for you by writing, reviewing, and negotiating your business contracts. For additional information on NJ contracts, go to njcontractattorney.com

NJ Non-Compete Agreements - Are you concerned about protecting your valuable proprietary information and the possibility that your key employees might compete directly against you? If so, let our experienced corporation attorneys draft a non-compete agreement for your corporation that can assist you in protecting your valuable proprietary and confidential business information. We can also prepare a non-competition agreement for your employees that can protect your interests. We can counsel you on the best methods of implementing a non-compete agreement with existing and new employees.

NJ Employment - Employer and Employee Relations As you grow and add employees, depend on us to assist you with your employment documents, including employment contracts, employee handbooks and policies and advice on hiring and firing.  For additional information, go to njemploymentlawyer.com

NJ Employee Handbook and Employment Policies - Did you know that your company could be at risk for an employee's actions? Let us review and evaluate employee handbooks and employment policies to clearly define policies regarding termination, drug use, Internet and e-mail use, vacation, sick leave, grievances, benefits, disability, sexual harassment and other important policies.

NJ Business succession plans and agreements take place upon the death, disability, retirement or withdrawal of a business owner, key employee or partner. Depending on the type of business, transfers of ownership interests may not achieve a complete change of control. Careful estate and corporate business planning can minimize problems and facilitate business owners' goals.  For additional information, go to passingonabusiness.com

NJ Closely held corporations involve a small number of shareholders, and are common forms for family-owned corporations. Due to their low number, shareholders often assume management and direction of the company. This consolidation of responsibilities can lead to specialized legal issues.  For additional information, go to njllclawattorney.com.

Directors' and officers' liability in NJ occurs when corporate representatives undertake actions that are illegal, unauthorized, or damaging to the business. While the corporate structure offers protection from liability in most instances, some actions or decisions can expose directors and officers to legal risks even if made in the course of business.

NJ Franchisee Law Representation - We will review franchise documents, explain your obligations, and advise you throughout the process of purchasing or selling a franchise. We want to be there to guide and protect you through this complicated yet potentially rewarding investment decision.  For additional information, go to njfranchiselawattorney.com 

NJ Partnership, NJ shareholder and NJ LLC member agreement(s):  A well-written and thought out agreement with an existing or prospective partner, shareholder or LLC member is one of the most essential protections you can have to ensure that verbal promises made to each other are memorialized in writing and legal remedies prevailed upon if your business associate fails to honor this commitment.  Some of the most expensive and vicious lawsuits that are fought in the NJ court system involve business disputes and claims of fraud, breach of contract, allegations of bad faith, etc.  A well written corporate and shareholder agreement does not have to be overly expensive and can save you tens of thousands of dollars in future litigation costs. For additional information, go to njpartnershipattorney.com, njshareholderagreement.com, and njllclawattorney.com

Review of Your NJ Retail, Office or Industrial Lease - Discovering the physical location for your enterprise is one of the most exciting steps in establishing a new company. It brings your business plan one step closer to profitability. Commercial leases are highly negotiable, from the terms and conditions to the financial payments and methods of payment. You should not sign a lease agreement before having an experienced NJ commercial leasing attorney review the lease and negotiate a lease agreement that can save you money today and for years to come. A small mistake or oversight will cost you substantial money.
